Reconstruction talk:Proto-Slavic/-ostь

Is *čistostь made up? Are there any Slavic language that uses this suffix for "cleanliness"? SH - чистоћа, RU - чистота. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 01:55, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

čistost exists in Slovene, alongside čistota and čistoča. —CodeCat 01:58, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 02:02, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

And in Polish there's czystość, and čistosť exists in Slovak too it seems. And I'm guessing that čistost exists in Serbo-Croatian too. —CodeCat 02:02, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

No worries, I just wanted to make sure. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 02:04, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

@Atitarev: See *čistostь, its reflex was present in Old Russian. There was also *čistota. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 19:36, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, век живи́ — век учи́сь! (vek živí — vek učísʹ!).
