Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/dъlgъ
(Redirected from Appendix:Proto-Slavic/dъlgъ)
Proto-Slavic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Related to Gothic 𐌳𐌿𐌻𐌲𐍃 (dulgs, “debt”):
- Most Slavists (Vasmer, Trubačev, Snoj) presume native origin, because of the mobile accent (untypical for Germanic loanwords). Machek proposes Slavic origin for the Gothic term. Others usually consider genetic kinship between the two, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰelgʰ-.
- Germanists (Stender-Petersen, favoured by Pronk-Tiethoff) consider it a Gothic loanword[1], since other financial terminology in early Slavic was mostly of Germanic origin: e.g. Proto-Slavic *myto (“tax”), *lixva (“interest”), *pěnędzь (“coin”), *kupiti (“to purchase”). Lehmann speculates that both Gothic and Slavic terms may be Celtic loanwords.
Noun[edit]
Inflection[edit]
Though it is traditionally reconstructed as a hard o-stem, Pronk-Tiethoff suggests that *dъlgъ was probably a u-stem instead: “the word is syllabic and has the root structure CъRC-, it shows u-stem endings in Old Church Slavic, as well as, e.g., the ‘second locative’ v dolgú in Russian, and the adjective formation R dolgovój. It has accentuation of the type Stang identifies with the Proto-Slavic u-stems.”
