Данилевский в своей книге “Русская техника” (Л.: Изд-во АН СССР, 1948) так объясняет эту должность, опираясь на сведения из “Актов исторических”: “вож” — древнее русское слово, так именовали военачальников, ***проводников*** и тех, кто открывал новые дороги; http://www.art.uralinfo.ru/literat/Ural/Ural_2000_11/Ural_11... От пленного Москвитин узнал о южной реке "Мамур" (Амур), в устье которой и на островах живут "гиляки сидячие" (оседлые нивхи). Летом казаки поплыли на юг, прихватив пленника в качестве "вожа" ***(проводника)***. http://biology.krc.karelia.ru/misc/bslov/14/14j.htm |
