Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/dьly
Proto-Slavic
editEtymology
editPossibly, akin to Latin dōlium (“cask”). Further origin unclear:
- If inherited, probably derived from Proto-Indo-European *delh₁- (“to split”), related to Proto-Celtic *delwā (“shape”);
- Possibly of substrate origin, akin to Persian دلو (dalv, “tub”), Arabic لْو (dalw, “bucket”) (of Semitic origin).
