Annotation The purpose of the study is the identification of the relicts of middle Bulgharian epoch in the historical lexicon of the Chuvash language. The used method is based on the identification of doublets – words that have the same or nearly the same meaning, but different in terms of historical derivation. These differences are identified on the basis of information about the historical development of the Turkic languages with respect to the ancient Turkic, lexicalized in the runic monuments of the VIII–IX centuries, which are parallel to the ancient Bulghar. The archaic verbal nouns in the Chuvash languages, ending with affixes –ăx/-ĕх that are relicts of the middle Bulgharian epoch are described in the article Their archaism is proved by their paucity and the presence of their parallels – more modern verbal nouns, ending with affixies –ă/-ĕ with the same meaning, as well as by the fact that one of these archaic words – pulăx “harvest” (from the verb pul- – “to be” , “to become”, “to (become) ripe”) was borrowed from the middle Bulgharian language into Persian where nowadays it is an obsolete word – Persian bolġε “one’s living”, “vital bread”. This word – bolġε comes from the middle Bulgharian *bolăgă, *bolgă
Key words the Bulghar language, the Chuvash language, affixes, verbal nouns
