Appearance
Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Probably from *àgnę (“lamb”) but the construction of the word is unclear. Machek suggested that it was originally a collective word. Compare *govę̀do (“bull; cattle”).
For meaning shift compare Polish bazia (“lamb; catkin”), Belarusian багня́ (bahnjá, “lamb; catkin”), Slovak bahniatka (“catkins”) : bahniatko (“lamb”).
May be related with Ancient Greek ἄγνος (ágnos, “chaste tree”).
