Etymology proposed[edit]
Shall we link it to pl:mowa, Proto-Slavic *mъlviti etc? Zezen (talk) 17:51, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- Please don't! It's from *modliti.--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:52, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the answer, Anatoli T., which I knew, since modlić się in Polish. No need to shout: I was simply suspecting a PIE cognate to mowa, but it seems not be the case here.
As actually it comes from *molditi (not -dl-) due to the metathesis, shall we then link to Lithuanian: malda (lt) f, and Middle High German melden, Proto-Germanic *melþōną, etc. back to the PIE? Will you join the forces ;)? Zezen (talk) 09:56, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
