I can find no evidence that "nedvěd" is a Czech word meaning "bear", even if a dialectal word. The usual Czech word for "bear" is medvěd. An etymological dictionary does not count as evidence. I have never heard or seen "nedvěd" as a Czech word. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:35, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
Anyway, here is what looks like attestation: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Retracted. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- Interesting one. I thought Polish niedźwiedź was the only Slavic one with initial "/n/". Ukrainian ведмідь (vedmídʹ) had a /m/ and /v/ transformation. Will add to Appendix:Proto-Slavic/medvědь. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 10:07, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
