Etymology edit
Inherited from Old East Slavic колѣно (kolěno), from Proto-Slavic *kolěno. Cognate with Ukrainian коліно (kolino), Bulgarian коляно (koljano), Slovene koléno, Czech koleno, Polish kolano; compare Lithuanian kelis (“knee”), Ancient Greek κῶλον (kôlon, “member of the body”), which may be from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kel- (“to bend, crooked”). Or from Proto-Indo-European *kʷel- (“to turn, wheel”), according to Pokorny.
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
коле́но • (koléno) n inan (genitive коле́на, nominative plural коле́ни, genitive plural коле́ней, relational adjective коле́нный, diminutive коле́нка)
Usage notes edit
The irregular plural of this sense of the word is due to the fact that the ending -и was an old neuter dual form.
