Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/sadlo

This Proto-Slavic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Slavic

Etymology

• Ultimately from *sad- +‎ *-lo. For the formation compare:
  • *dagljь, *jьzgaga, *žeťi
  • *prǫglo, *prǫga, *pręťi
  • *vǫzlъ, *vǫza, *vęzati

(it's not derived from *saditi, in this case form *sadilo/*sadьlo is expected, it's unclear why i/ь would be dropped; and not directly from *sěsti > *sědlo)

Compare typologically Ancient Greek στέαρ (stéar), ultimately derived from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂-.

• Alternatively from metathesis of earlier *sāldom (cf. *modliti). Cognate with Old Prussian saltan n, Old Irish saill, sall, saillim

Noun

*sadlo n

1. lard
