Proto-Balto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Probably borrowed from a substrate (with the onset *a- perhaps being a prefix in said substratum language), with no certain cognates in non-Balto-Slavic languages; that said, compare Albanian arrë (“walnut”), Ancient Greek ἄρυα (árua, “Heraclean filbert”). The connection to Proto-Slavic *rěšiti (“to untie, solve”),[1] the latter probably from Proto-Indo-European *wreyḱ- (“to twist, bend”), is semantically unconvincing,[2] and Smoczynski's derivation from a Proto-Indo-European *(h₁)reyḱ- (“to tear, break”), which he connects to Ancient Greek ἐρείκω (ereíkō, “to break, bruise, crush, burst”),[3] is formally difficult.
