Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

An archaic proto-form of *kolti (to stab) +‎ *-uti, reflecting Proto-Balto-Slavic *kljautei, from Proto-Indo-European *klewh₂-, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kelh₂- (to beat, to stab). Survives only in Bulgarian and Macedonian. Other languages reflect the doublet *kľьvati, with an identical meaning. Cognate with Lithuanian kliū́ti (to cleave) and Latvian kļūt (to become).

The surviving descendants exhibit depalatalized root vowel, however, the original was most likely with a soft root vowel, i.e. *kľuti.

*kľuti impf (perfective *kľunǫti)[1]

  1. to peck, to prickle
