THE HISTORICAL FATE OF THE HOMOGROUP <i>ГОЛУБЕЦЪ</i>
This article is dedicated to study of words with sound envelope and spelling <i>голубец </i>in Russian language during the period from XI century to modern stage of language development. It was established as a result of investigation that one of homonyms - <i>голубецъ</i>1 blue paintґ - originated in the Indo-European word <i>голубь </i>and another - <i>голубецъ</i>2 - 1) box for keeping sacral things (ark)ґ; 2) part of the church premises serving as a burial vaultґ; 3) underground reservoirґ originated in the word <i>golf </i>borrowed from Scandinavian languages. The reason of coincidence of paronyms <i>голубецъ </i>and <i>голбецъ </i>in sound and spelling was the homonymization by phonetical analogy, without taking the meanings of words into account. In the course of time both words acquired new meanings; many of them then gradually gained the state of independent lexical units.
