Posssible second etymology 'rural'
[edit]There are various toponyms which are derived from this lemma, possibly of Pre-Slavic origin:
Examples:
- South Slavic:
- West Slavic:
According to BER, they are either identical to *vidimъ (“visible”) (via semantic drift) or borrowed. Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *weydʰ- (“wooded”). Безименен (talk) 08:21, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
