[Short articles]
Mantl, mantlík, mantlíček (From polysemy to homonymy)
The article deals with the position of the noun mantl (from the German Mantel) and its derivatives on the periphery of the Czech lexical system; the author points out a new discovered meaning recorded in a folk song from the late 18th century. The seemingly disparate semantic spectrum of the lexeme ('coat'; 'intrigues'; 'illegitimate child') is caused by its repeated discontinuous borrowing from German, each time in a different meaning.
