Etymology 1[edit]

From ши (ši) +‎ -ть (-tʹ, definite genitive suffix).

Noun[edit]

шить (šitʹ)

  1. definite singular genitive of ши (ši)

Etymology 2[edit]

From ши (ši) +‎ -ть (-tʹ, adverbial suffix). Serebrennikov calls this suffix "one of the temporalis adverbial suffixes," it has been suggested that it derives from the Uralic ablative, same as Moksha -да (-da), see the latter for more. Alternatively it is to be linked with the Uralic locative *-t. This suffix is not productive, it is found only in a handful of fossilized adverbs.[1] It is etymologically unrelated to the homophonous definite genitive suffix, which is most likely of pronominal origin, cognate with тя (tja, this).[2]

Adverb[edit]

шить (šitʹ)

  1. by day, during the day
