Proto-Slavic

Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from a Proto-West Germanic *plōg (plough, plow).[1] Parallel borrowing with Lithuanian plūgas.

Noun

[edit]

*plùgъ m[1][2][3]

  1. plough
    Hyponyms: *ordlo (ard plough), *soxa (stick plough)

Usage notes

[edit]

The term may have originally referred to frame-ploughs, invented around 1st cent. AD by the Romans. It was probably intended for plowing tougher soils, which could not be handled by simpler tools such as *ordlo and *soxa. According to Schuster-Šewc, the tool had spread from Raetia or Eastern Gallia into the Langobards and from them into the remaining Germanic and Central European people.
