топъл
Bulgarian
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Slavic *toplъ (in South Slavic), cognate with Old Church Slavonic топлъ (toplŭ), Macedonian топол (topol), Serbo-Croatian tȍpao. In other Slavic branches, the lemma is encountered with e-grade vocalism: e.g. Russian тёплый (tjóplyj), Polish ciepły.
Formally comparable with Bulgarian топо́ла (topóla, “poplar”) and Bulgarian те́пам (tépam, “to beat, to bash”), but the genetic relation between them is questionable.
