Abstract

The estate called mortis was undoubtedly situated in present-day Tolna County, as demonstrated by road names in the description of its border. To identify its exact place, I use the inductive method of localization. I examine the objects mentioned in the border’s description one by one, I analyse their probable meaning and by using a 20th-century database of toponyms of Tolna County and the Google Earth program, I identify their locations one by one and depict them on the map. The paper concludes that the mortis estate was located to the north of the area suggested by researchers as recently as 2010. The suggested location of the real estate discussed in this article is shown on a map. I also examine the semantic and philological problems occurring in case of some phrases of the border’s description. It contains 34 non-Latin words altogether, out of them 9 are the postposition rea, which in 8 cases has the meaning of the Hungarian adverbial suffix -ig i.e., ‘to’. The other non-Latin words are typically common words. The border-description of another estate, namely the one described as situated ‘next to the horse pasture’ also contains multiple non-Latin words, but out of them 8 are geographical names. This latter estate, despite all previous views, is not situated east to the River Danube, but lies also in Tolna County, near the mortis estate. (See Holler László: Az 1055. évi tihanyi oklevélben szereplő „lólegelő melletti” birtok lokalizálása.–Egy jelentős „új” helytörténeti forrás a 11. századból. [An Important “Recently Discovered” Source Regarding 11th Century Toponyms: Identifying the Location of the Estate “Situated next to a Horse Pasture” in the 1055 Tihany Charter.] Erdélyi Múzeum 78/3: 51–96) Section 7.2. of the paper on the mortis estate summarizes the philological results regarding the non-Latin words in the border’s description. Among them, we have the following results: − regarding sar feu, the most important compositions with fő ~ fej ‘head’ occurring in toponyms are discussed, analysing their semantic relationship; − in case of eri itu, the -i in eri ‘streamy’ is interpreted as an adjective formant, contrary to previous views; − in the expression petre zenaia hel, the meaning ‘scaffoldings, barns for drying hay’ is attributed to the petre element, despite all previous views. Moreover, I express strong doubts on the generally accepted ‘old road’ meaning of the first word in the phrase ohut cuta. This observation even has interesting consequences in Finno-Ugric linguistics and Hungarian etymology, discussed in detail in a separate publication (See Holler László: Az agg és az ó szócsaládjai összetartozásának kérdéséről. [Do the Word Families of Hung. agg and ó Have Common Origin or Not?] Nyelvtudományi Közlemények 108: 253–266).
