Proto-Slavic

Etymology

    From Early Proto-Slavic *suta,[1] from dialectal irregular Proto-Balto-Slavic *śumta, alternative form of *śímta, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱm̥tóm. The vocalism is highly aberrant; the expected *ę from Proto-Balto-Slavic *im < IE *m̥ is found in *tysęti. The back vowel is sometimes connected with dialectal Lithuanian šum̃tas of dubious antiquity, leaving the lack of nasal unexplained still. Owing to these difficulties, an external source has been sought, perhaps Iranian or Thracian; higher numerals like ‘hundred’ are frequently borrowed.
