Lithuanian
Alternative forms
Etymology
Usually explained as from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Balto-Slavic *aiˀṣk-. Cognate with Old Church Slavonic ꙗснъ (jasnŭ) < Proto-Slavic *ě̀snъ implying a pre-Slavic form *ěsk-n-.[1] This is paralleled in Lithuanian raiškus (“expressive”) : Old Church Slavonic рѣснъ (rěsnŭ, “true”). Compare Russian искра́ (iskrá, “spark”); but Latvian īsts (“true”).
