metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The so-called Bavarian Geographer describes the ethnopolitical situation at the end of the first
  half of the 9th century in a wide area of Central and Eastern Europe. The names of those tribes are mostly
  recorded in their Germanic forms, as they were known at the time among the Franks. Those names are in
  their Slavic forms basically authentic, quallificative in their nature, created according to certain collective
  characteristics that their bearers attributed to themselves. Thus we can assume that those tribes brought those
  names from their ancient homeland when they settled the Elbe region, and that could be corroborated with
  the fact that some of those tribal names appear also among the South Slavs (Obodrites, Serbs, Milingoi =
  Milcians?). In the area of the ancient Slavic homeland itself, in the basin of the upper Oder, Warta, Vistula,
  West Bug and Upper Dniester, it lists a number of tribes that can be divided into two groups. The first would
  include those who still kept their old names and ancient tribal identities The second group includes tribes,
  which, judging by their names, were new, territorially based tribes, composed of members of various tribes
  that during the migrations stayed at their homes. Based on the ethnonymic material from the treatise of the
  Bavarian Geograph and other early medieval sources, one important conclusion can be reached about the
  Slavic ethnonymy — in naming of the tribes, peoples and communities, the Slavs held much more to the
  essence than form. The names derived from the same root occur often with different suffixes, and sometimes
  for one and the same tribe the names are derived from another, but semantically identical root.
