The comparison of the lexical data gathered by the LEI and the medieval and contemporary anthroponymic data gathered by PatRom makes it possible to measure, on a concrete example (the delexical personal names formed on continuators of regional Proto-Romance */karne-lakˈsare/ ‘Shrove Tuesday’), the contributions, modest but not negligible, of anthroponymy to historical lexicology.
