Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From *ob- +‎ *rъtь, of disputed origin. Morphologically seems cognate with Proto-Slavic *rъtъ (mouth, beak; hillock) from Proto-Indo-European *Hrew-. Compare also dialectal Russian о́бороть (óborotʹ, strap, bridle), either from an earlier Proto-Slavic *obvortь (from Proto-Indo-European *wert- (to turn)) or a rebracketing of the phrase Proto-Slavic *obъ rъtь (around the mouth).

Noun

[edit]

*obrъtь f

  1. bridle
    Synonym: *uzda
