ланцуг

Belarusian edit

Borrowed from Polish łańcuch, from an unattested compound of Middle High German lanne (“chain”) and Middle High German zug (“tug, pull”), the former being from Old High German lanna (“metal sheet, platelet; chain”), from Vulgar Latin lanna from Latin lāmina (“sheet especially of metal”), the latter from the well-known Proto-Germanic *tugiz (“tug, pull”). Ukrainian ланцю́г (lancjúh), Russian ланцу́г (lancúg) and Romanian lanț are from the same source.

ланцу́г • (lancúh) m inan (genitive ланцуга́, nominative plural ланцугі́, genitive plural ланцуго́ў)

Declension of ланцу́г (inan velar masc-form accent-b)

¹Used with the numbers 2, 3, 4 and higher numbers after 20 ending in 2, 3, and 4.
