Zapomniane nomina acti na -ek (XVI-XVIII w.)

Abstract

In the Old Polish and Middle Polish periods there existed deverbal nouns with the formant -ek, such nalazek, przepadek, spisek and others. Witold Doroszewski called them nomina acti. They are also found in Księgi gromadzkie wsi Kasina Wielka. Nowadays, the prefix-ek doesn’t serve this function.
