Proto-Balto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Unknown. Suggested to be from Proto-Indo-European *sent- (to go), whence Proto-Germanic *sandijaną (to send), through a contaminated alternating paradigm, *sint- ~ *sunt-,[1] though this is rather ad hoc. One might instead perhaps expect Proto-Indo-European *syu-né-t-ti ~ *syu-n-t-énti, from root *syewt-, however this has no cognates.

Verb

[edit]

*sjúnsti

  1. (East Baltic) to send
