Proto-Balto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *yugom. Cognate with Latin iugum, Proto-Germanic *juką, and Sanskrit युग (yuga).

Reconstruction notes

[edit]

Three stress patterns are found in the Lithuanian language. These are stress pattern 1, stress pattern 3 and probably exception stress pattern 2. In Proto-Slavic, respectively, the accent paradigm a and c. Apparently, it is necessary to restore the mobile accent with the initial accent, like the wordform *médu without the action of Hirt's law from *yúgom. Likewise in the nominative plural, but with the action of Hirt's law from *yugéh₂. That is, one form is an form-enclinomena and the other is not. As a result, the Balto-Slavic accent curve acquired extreme complexity, which caused it to align and often splitting, which led to the emergence of paradigmatic doublets and even triplets, which was demonstrated in the descendants.

The East Aukshtaits dialect apparently uses a wordform in the genitive plural jugũ (stress pattern 4) without infixation.
