Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/ovoťe
Proto-Slavic edit
Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
Possibly derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂weg- (“to grow”).
Early scholars (Miklošič, Uhlenbeck, Kiparsky, and still supported by Germanists) presumed borrowing[2] from Old High German obaz, obez or Proto-West Germanic *obaet (“fruit”), which has been dismissed since then (by most Slavists) for phonetic and chronological reasons (though these reasons would not necessarily hold for a pre-OHG borrowing).
Noun edit
*ovoťe n[2]
- flowering plant
- (collective) fruitage, vegetables (yield of flowering plants)
