Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Etymology tree
Origin uncertain. A Slavic innovation with no cognates outside the branch. Proposed theories:
- From Proto-Indo-European *dʰu-m-bʰ-os with nasal interfix, from *dʰewbʰ- (“deep”). Literally, “a tree with a hollow (a characteristic feature of an old oak)”.
- From Proto-Indo-European *dʰu-m-bʰ-os ~ *dʰuh₂-m-bʰ-os with nasal interfix, from *dʰewh₂- (“smoke”). Originally meaning “dark”, referring to the dark wood of an oak. Compare Sanskrit धू॒म्र (dhūmrá, “smoke; smokish, dark, darkish-red”), Ancient Greek τῠφλός (tŭphlós, “blind; dark”).
For semantic shift “oak” > “tree” compare Old Norse eik. For “dugout” compare *čьlnъ.
