Laktinje
Laktinje ( mk, Лактиње) is a village in the municipality of Debarca, North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Belčišta. Name Inhabitants from Laktinje associate the name of the settlement with the ''Латините/Latinite'' (Latins), due to there being an old graveyard in the village. Pianka Włodzimierz states it could be possible that the placename is derived from the name ''Vlah'ta'' or ''Vlah'tin,'' ultimately from the form ''Vlah''. In Western Macedonian dialects, dropping the initial ''v'' and substituting it for a ''h'' sound before the consonant occurs sporadically is a regular phenomenon which Włodzimierz proposes could have happened in this instance. Włodzimierz also states that the name could originate from a lost appellative ''лактина/Laktina'' meaning 'a bend on a river or road' (as the village is located on such a bend), ultimately from the collective form ''лакед/laked'' < ''лакътъ/Lak't''.
