siauras
Appearance
Lithuanian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Cognate with Latvian šàurs (“narrow”), with further origin disputed:
- According to Derksen and Smoczynski, the words could be from Proto-Indo-European *sewh₁-ro-,[1] from *sewh₁- (“to squeeze, press”) (which Derksen gives as *seu-); compare Sanskrit सुनोति (sunoti, “to press”).[2]
- According to Karulis, the words could be from *sewh₁- (“to bend; to cut; to drive, press”), with semantic shift “bent (inward), concave” > “narrow”; compare Sanskrit सुवति (suvati, “to impel, set in motion”).[3]
