The designations of the Pleiades, the Milky Way, and the interpretation of moonspots differ systematically among the Bolts and Slavs, and coincide among the Bolts and Baltic Finns. Balto-Finnish variants are found in the texts of the population of the Middle Volga region. The interpretation of moonspots as a girl or young woman holding buckets of water is common throughout Northern Eurasia and is also typical of the northwest coast of North America, the Algonquins living north of the Great Lakes, and the Maori. Some Siberian, Native American, and Maori texts include the motif of the bush that the character is holding on to. The cosmonym "Pleiades-sieve" may be a variant of the North Eurasian concept of stars as holes in the sky. The Milky Way as a bird road is typical for the Bolts, Ugro-Finns and part of the Turks, as well as the Amur Evenks and Algonquins. These cosmonyms in Eurasia spread from east to west. They are almost completely absent from the Samoyeds. Key words: cosmonymy, Pleiades, Milky Way, spots on the Moon, Balts, Ugro-Finns, Samoyeds, Turks, peoples of Siberia, Indians of the northwest coast of North America, Algonquins, Salish. In the cultures of Eurasia outside the tropical zone, the main focus was on seven objects of the night sky. These are the Moon with spots on the disk, Venus, the Milky Way, Ursa Major, the Pleiades, the Orion Belt, and the North Star. Other planets, stars, and constellations were singled out in some cultures and ignored in others. Although many cosmonyms are known, most of them are recorded locally and singly, or represent variants of several prevailing images. The stability of cosmonymic vocabulary and corresponding mythopoetic representations makes them a source of data on ethno-cultural processes of the distant past. The boundaries of distribution on the continent of a number of modern and recorded in written sources cosmonyms do not correspond to the boundaries of language families. For example, the cosmonymy of the Balt ... Read more
