Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/gobino
Appearance
Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Traditionally viewed as an early borrowing from Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐌱𐌴𐌹 (gabei, “wealth”) (*-n- from the oblique ending), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʰebʰ- (“to give”). A minority view presumes native origin from sparsely attested *gobь + *-ino, perhaps cognate with Lithuanian Gãbis m, Gabijà f (“fire deity”) (mythological) and akin to gãbas (“greed”), gabùs/gobùs (“greedy”), gabúoti (“to act greedily”).
According to some interpretations, may share origin with Proto-Slavic *gabati (“to seize”), Lithuanian guõbti (“to gather up”).
