Proto-Balto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Proto-Indo-European *ḱḗr (“heart”).[1][2]

Reconstruction notes

[edit]

In Lithuanian dialects, there are forms such as gen.sg. širdès, nom.pl. šìrdes, gen.pl. širdų̃, which point to an earlier root noun.

Tijmen Pronk (2022) may be suggesting that form *ḱēr(d) gave rise to the Prussian form seyr.[3] However, Wojciech Smoczyński (as of December 04, 2023) believes that the Prussian form remains paleographically unclear.[4] Therefore, this means that the Prussian form cannot be a reliable material for the reconstruction of the Proto-Balto-Slavic form *śḗr.
