Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the process of codification of oikonyms in the Internet Language Reference Book. It focuses on the use of corpus data, which have not been taken into consideration yet. The example of the adjectives derived from the oikonyms ended by a consonant and the suffix -ky,-ka, or -ko is used to verify the assumption that central onomastic phenomena can be studied onthe basis of corpus data well. It is shown that the the present investigation of the frequent adjectives enables more precise statements regarding the distribution of changes in the base of the adjective. The new findings can also be applied to less frequent adjectives.
