It provides a reflection of contemporary England, not just its historical past. Every place-name entry has a unique National Grid reference number, a list of historical spellings, the age and meaning of the name and its etymology (pre-Indo-European, Indo-European, Celtic, Primitive Welsh, Anglo-Saxon, Old Norse, Old French, Middle English, Modern English). Where appropriate, a commentary is provided on comparable names, on the problems, history and significance of the name for settlement, economic and social history, the development of the language and on its variant pronunciations and spellings.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Guide to dictionary entries\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of most frequently used elements\u003cbr\u003e Distribution maps\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Places-names.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Historical geography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Historical geography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Historical%20geography%20%5BHBTP%5D%22\"\u003eHBTP\u003c\/a\u003e], British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e], Encyclopaedias \u0026amp; reference works [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Encyclopaedias \u0026amp; reference works\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Encyclopaedias%20\u0026amp;%20reference%20works%20%5BGB%5D%22\"\u003eGB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52470094364952,"sku":"9780521362092","price":384.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780521362092i.jpg?v=1785632756","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-cambridge-dictionary-of-english-place-names-based-on-the-collections-of-the-english-place-name-society-hardback-9780521362092","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
