Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/uklěja
Proto-Slavic edit
Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
Unknown. Synonym to today’s standard Lithuanian aukšlė̃ and Latvian aûsleja, also auslēja, auslejs. The formal discrepancy may be the effect of parallel borrowing from a substrate, after having shared the name with a similar fish, perhaps *klenь, *klěnь, but this looks like the same word.
Noun edit
*uklěja f
- bleak (a leuciscine fish)
