Streszczenie
We prove that in some cases definable thin sets (including chains) of Borel partial orderings are necessarily countably cofinal. This includes the following cases: analytic thin sets, ROD thin sets in the Solovay model, and ${\mathbf \Sigma }_{2}^{1}$ thin sets under the assumption that $\omega _{1}^{{\bf L}[x]} \lt \omega _{1}$ for all reals $x$. We also prove that definable thin wellorderings admit partitions into definable chains in the Solovay model.
