Slaukt govis

Etymology

[edit]

From the same stem as šļūkt (“to slide; to drag one's feet”), in a different ablaut grade: Proto-Baltic *slyauk-, *slauk-, from Proto-Indo-European *slewk-, *slowk- (“to slide”). (Some researchers derived it from Proto-Indo-European *ḱlew- ~ *ḱlōw- ~ *ḱlū- "to clean, to rinse.") The original meaning was “to slide, to drag, to wipe,” initially used to refer to the motion of the hands while milking. Cognates include Lithuanian sliaũkti (“to crawl; to slide; to cast off, to make slide; to wipe; to flow slowly”) [1]
