хѣрь
Old Novgorodian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]By surface analysis, *хѣре (*xěre, “gray”) + -ь (-ĭ). Possibly inherited from Proto-Slavic *śěrь (“grey cloth”), from *śěrъ (“gray”) with pre-secondarily palatalized *x-. Compare Old Czech šěř, Czech šer (“grey cloth, linsey-woolsey, pathetic clothes”).[1] First attested in c. 1360‒1380.
It was mistakenly assumed to be borrowed from Middle Low German gêre, gere, gir (“wedge-shaped piece of cloth”).[1]

[edit]- grey cloth, linsey-woolsey
- Synonym: водмоле (vodmole)
