Proto-Balto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Indo-European *gʷih₃wós.
Adjective
[edit]Reconstruction notes
[edit]According to Dybo, the diphthongization of the vowel *ī in Prussian language occurred in a stressed syllable under the acute accent examining the form geijwas.[4] It is possible that the Prussian form indicates that Hirt's law was in effect. Kortlandt considers the combination -eij- an exception and a printer's error.[5]
Inflection
[edit]Mobile accent.
Descendants
[edit]- East Baltic:
- West Baltic:
- Proto-Slavic: *žȋvъ (see there for further descendants)
