  The author aims to reconstruct the phonetic, morphological, semantic and chronological
  peculiarities of three pairs of Mari words (wočko and pečke ‘barrel’, kaďilä and ká·δәn ‘censer’,
  moľo and mŭľo ‘young fish’) borrowed from Russian dialects. She comes to the conclusion
  that they can compose pairs as direct and indirect borrowings, different derivational
  varieties of the same verbal stem or the phonetically resembling Mari representations of two
  etymologically different Russian dialectal words.

  The present article is dedicated to the etymology of the Hungarian noun kullancs ”клещ (lat. Ixodes ricinus)”. The Slavic origin of the word was assumed in the 19th century, however this idea was rejected in the 20th century owing to phonetic reseasons. After a short overview of the history of the research of this word, arguments are lined up in favour of the fact that the phonetic difficulties can be ignored or at least taken as irrelevant when comparing the Hungarian word  kullancs with its Slavic equivalents. Therefore, it is inevitable to raise the question of its Slavic origin again.
