试论“祝阿”地名的由来

A Trying Discussion about Origin of Geographic Name Zhue

"祝阿"是鲁西北的一个古地名,它经历了由"祝柯"到"祝阿"的转变过程。由于史料匮乏",祝阿"命名原由无从可考,只能作数种推测,这亦有助于管窥其余以"阿"为后缀的地名的命名依据。

Zhue is a ancient geographic name in northwest Lu, which has passed through an transitional process from Zhuke before Qin dynasty to Zhue in Han dynasty in written language. And in fact that is a transition of interchanging word. As a result of baseless exact historical material ,the reasons why Zhue was named cannot be found ,but several inference can be made out according to common discipline of naming place names and word explanations. Research on origin of Zhue also does good to understanding other place names with E as suffx.
