Proto-Slavic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *lā́ˀwāˀ (“place to sleep”); cognate with Lithuanian lóva (“bed”), Latvian lâva (“sweat bench, bench in the bath room, bench at the bar oven or at the parlour oven, sleeping place”).

Reconstruction[edit]

The East Slavic and South Slavic languages together show the accent paradigm ⟨a⟩, which is a normal reflex of the accent paradigm ⟨c⟩. True that very often in the two-syllable noun of the accent paradigm ⟨a⟩ Czech language loses its longitude, but this stem, when the suffix *-ъka is added, gives a reflex whose longitude is the reflex of the new acute, and the noun of the accent paradigm ⟨a⟩ do not give this reflex in formations with the suffix *-ъka. This stem behaves similarly in Slovak and Polish languages. In the East Slavic and South Slavic dialects, there is a tendency to generalize root accent.

Noun[edit]

*lavà f[1]

  1. bench
