According to the remark of the Estonian linguist Lembit Vaba, in the toponyms of Setu, which are mostly of Slavic origin, are evident due to the characteristics of Belarusian phonetics, such as the beginning of the name: vl- —› st- (Vlaskova —› Ulaskovo). In Pskov Oblast there is a village Ulaskovo and several villages Vlaskovo; in the north of Russia there is a river Vlaskova.
