## Abstract

The two creatures in the title have attracted the attention of ethnographers and etymologists alike for more than a century now, resulting in several theories, more than twenty etymologies, and no consensus. The present paper evaluates these proposals and adds to them yet another one. It also presents linguistic and extra-linguistic data that strengthens some of them and weakens others. The proposal favoured by the authors is presented in more detail, and with new supporting evidence.

#### Further Information

This paper was originally intended as a translation of K. Stachowski (2005). As the work
progressed, however, it possessed a co-author, was updated, expanded, restructured, and
often rephrased, so that the whole grew to nearly three times the size of the original.
The final conclusion, while different in two details, remains essentially the same.
 Several scholars contributed to the creation of this paper in smaller or greater ways.
We want to express our particular graditude to Michał Németh, PhD (Cracow, Mainz)
and Mateusz Urban, PhD (Cracow) for their dedication and help. All the remaining
errors and shortcomings, needless to say, are ours alone.
