Lithuanian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Balto-Slavic *smāg- (“to strike”), and cognate with Proto-Slavic *smagati, whence Polish smagać (“to lash, whip”). The Balto-Slavic root's further origin is uncertain,[1] but it appears to be onomatopoeic, and may be cognate with Swedish smacka (“to smack (one's lips)”), Dutch smak (“crash, blow, smack”).[2][3] It is, however, possible that the Balto-Slavic and Germanic formations were formed independently of each other.
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]smõgti (third-person present tense smõgia, third-person past tense smõgė)
