Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *tas; the suffix continues both Proto-Indo-European *-tós and *-tus. A distinguishing feature between the two is that lemmas formed with the u-stem suffix, later were extended with *-kъ, e.g. Serbo-Croatian podátak (datum) < *datъ (load, something given).

Suffix
