Old Novgorodian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

First attested in c. 1140‒1160. From early *рꙑгь (*rygĭ) with Old Pskovian reflex > early *g > late z, inherited from Proto-Slavic *ryďь, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *rūˀdjas, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ruHdʰ-yo-s, ultimately from *h₁rewdʰ- (red). A typical Old Novgorodian would be expected as *рꙑжь (*ryžĭ). Cognate with Old East Slavic рꙑжь (ryžĭ), Old Church Slavonic рꙑждь (ryždĭ).
