Reconstruction:Proto-Celtic/mlastos
(Redirected from Reconstruction:Proto-Celtic/mlasto-)
Proto-Celtic
editEtymology
editUncertain; possibly cognate Czech mlsati (“to lick”), Russian молса́ть (molsátʹ, “to suck”), Polish pomłoski (“tidbit”), presuming a Proto-Indo-European *mels- root,[1] however, the expected outcome of *ml̥s-tó-s would be *malstos, requiring liquid metathesis, or, perhaps, a special rule, to arrive at *mlastos.[2][3][4]
Noun

edit- *mlastā f, *mlastom n[5]
