Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/gǫsь
Proto-Slavic
Etymology 1
From Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns (“goose”),[1] though the exact path is disputed. Two theories:
- A direct inheritance from Proto-Balto-Slavic *gansís, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns, citing the accentuation matching (i-stem with mobile accentuation) with that of the Baltic equivalent as well as the formal match between *gǫserъ (“gander”) with Latin ānser.[2]
- Alternatively, borrowed from unattested Gothic *𐌲𐌰𐌽𐍃 (*gans) (due to its apparent "centum" character), from Proto-Germanic *gans, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns.
Noun
*gǫ̑sь f[1]
