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''.

Kuratica ( mk, Куратица) or slang Kurajca ( mk, Курајца) is a village in the municipality of Ohrid, North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Kosel.

The village is located near a fast running mountain stream. "По секоја веројатност, името е романско. образувано со суф. -ица од придавката curát "бистар, брз, чист").

Arbinovo
Arbinovo ( mk, Арбиново) is a village in the municipality of Debarca, North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Belčišta. Name In early 20th century, the village Arbinovo appears in the demographic work of Kanchov and map by Jaranov as ''Ъpбино/Ărbino'', in a 1903 map as ''Arbino'' and in other documents of the period as ''Рбину/Rbinu''. Local Macedonian residents derive the village name from the Macedonian word ''врба/vrba'' for willow tree and the toponym is formed with the suffix ''ino'', along with the additional suffix ''ovo''. Pianka Włodzimierz agrees this is the correct etymology of the placename, due to the many willow trees in Arbinovo and that loss of the initial ''v'' sound in the toponym is possible due to local Macedonian speech.

Botun, North Macedonia
Botun ( mk, Ботун) is a village in the Municipalities of North Macedonia, municipality of Debarca Municipality, Debarca, North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Belčišta. Name Bulgarian academic Georgiev derives the toponym Botun from the Romanian term ''buti'' (meaning spill or a current) and notes that in the ''Dicţionarul limbii romane'' (Romanian Dictionary) the term ''buti'' is marked as a loan from Bulgarian. Another Bulgarian academic derives the toponym Botun from the Romanian word ''boti'' (meaning wooden bucket or bucket). Botun lies on Sateska river, which forms a ravine and according to Pianka Włodzimierz the first explanation looks plausible. Pianka Włodzimierz however states that a more acceptable etymology of the village name is given by M. Moskov where Botun is derived from the Macedonian ''Botunja'' meaning fertile soil. In a similar way Włodzimierz notes that in the speech of Albanians from the nearby area of Debar the term ''b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Village
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
