Etymology
[edit]@Per utramque cavernam: I don't know what it's from. Phonologically it can't come directly from either *vъtorъ (which I think would have given *wutor) or *vъtorъkъ (which I think would have given *wutork). I have no idea where the -ał- comes from. —Mahāgaja (formerly Angr) · talk 18:21, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

- @Per utramque cavernam: Muka says it was influenced by Latin altera (“second”). I'm skeptical but have no better theory, so I put it in. —Mahāgaja · talk 16:20, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
