Just by reading the comment title I knew it was you :) Don't forget I'm a non-slavic person and I do my best ! Thanks anyway for the Rakyta plant, I'll correct that tomorrow... meantime I'm going to make myself a willow tea :)
Careful or you're gonna get greener than I am.:) BTW The village-then river-then summit pattern is pretty common within the Carpathians (e.g.Gerlach or Jaworowe), however, it sometimes happens to be the other way round.
Well, you know that "ostry" translates as "sharp". As for the ending, I can only make another wild guess:D - the whole word looks like a combination of ostry and osrodek/oseredok, i.e. sort of "centre". Something connected somehow with "ostrewka" and 'stog"? But it's just a guessing game.

h'mPerhaps the name of the village - and consequently the peak - has something to do with Rakyta rather than crayfish.

Re: h'mAny theories for Ostredok and the forthcoming Borisov ?
