Proto-Slavic[edit]

*gumьno

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *gaw- ~ *gōw-, explained by Pogodin[1] as compounded in pre-Proto-Slavic with its descendant of Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws—predecessor of *govь (cow) visible in *govędo (cattlehead), *govьno (dung), and *gavęzь (bugloss)—with *mьno formed from the stem of *męti (to crumple, to scutch) +‎ *-o—the second noun is confirmed by Latvian mīnas m, mīne f (clay puddling pit).
