- Očberki po istorii byta domongolɔskoj Rusi [= Trudy Gos. Istoričeskogo Muzeja 5], Moscow 1929, 38. Rybakov's reading of this inscription in his cited book, p. 370f, is unconvincing. Cf. also his article: Nadpisɔ kievskogo gončara XI veka, Kratkie soobščenija Instituto materialɔnoj kulɔtury 12, 1946, 134–8. Other examples of Old Russian inscriptions on objects, confined to possessive adjectives: nevestočъe [prjaslo] in Vysgorod = whorl belonging to nevěstъka ‘daughter or sister-in-law’; juriščina [bъčъυъ or bъčъka] ‘Jurišče's barrel’ in Novgorod, XII-XIII century: A. Arcixovskij, Novgorodskaja èkspedicija, Kratkie soobščenija… XXVII, 113–22 (with reproductions). The inscription on a boot-tree of the XIII-XIV cenury, excavated in Novgorod (ibid.), is mne.i, probably mneni [sapozi] 'Mьnenъ‘s boots’; cf. Old Czech Mnen occurring in the Necrologium of Podlažice, XIII century, and derived, as well as Mňata, from mъn- ‘minor’: for the suffix -en- in Slavic personal names examples are collected by Miklosich, p. 8. The inscription on the lid of a bucket excavated in Novgorod and assigned by Arcixovskij roughly to the twelfth century (see below, footnote 7) presents a Glagolitic M followed by a Cyrillic n: the Glagolitic letter apparently stands for its spelling-name myslite or rather myslěte, and the whole sequence intimates mysljatenъ, originally mysljatъnъ [korъcъ or kъbъlъ or okoυъ] ‘Mysljata's bucket’ (cf. vladyčъnъ, dъčerъnъ, gospodъnъ). Finally, in some inscriptions the name of the owner or giver appears as a mere signature: such is the name molodilo on a whorl, discovered by Gorodcov in Rjazan' (see Rybakov, Remeslo…; 198).
