Kavkaz Forum. 2020. Issue 1. Abstract: The article is devoted to the contribution of Doctor of Philology, Professor Igor Georgievich Dobrodomov to the study of the Ossetian language. It is noted that in a number of the works by this talented scientist the substantive etymologies of Alanisms, borrowed by both Russian and other Slavic languages, are given. Of particular interest is the coverage of issues such as the etymology associated with the Alanian regular plural forms; the chronology of the appearance of words and various versions of their origin; hapax motivation; semantic and phonic affinity of West Slavic forms and Iranisms; connection of the Iranian world with West Slavic languages and many others. Factors that testify to the influence of the Alanian language on the Slavic and Russian languages, as well as to contributing to the reconstruction of lost Lexemes Alanisms by tracing them in other languages in order to compile a complete list of words of the Iranian origin, are also examined in detail here. The relative chronological hierarchy of lexemes is established by the method of group reconstruction, carried out on the basis of a synonymous nest based on the Ossetian language, acting as the only surviving descendant of the long-existing and with the numerous speakers Scythian-Sarmatian-Alanian language world, which the Slavic peoples once actively contacted. Keywords: Ossetian language, Alanisms, Slavic languages, reconstruction, language contact, Russian language, hapax. + References 1. Dobrodomov, I. G.
