шметанка

Pannonian Rusyn

Etymology

Inherited from Old Slovak smetánka, from smetana + -ka, the former from Proto-Slavic *sъmetana. Unusually for a Slavic language, the non-diminutive form was not inherited, i.e. there does not exist *шметана (*šmetana). Cognates include Belarusian смята́нка (smjatánka), Czech smetánka, Polish śmietanka and Slovak smotánka.
