Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/luskati
Proto-Slavic
editEtymology
edit- Per Derksen, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *lauskāˀtei or *lauˀskāˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *loup- + *-sk-, from the same root as Proto-Slavic *lūpìti (“to peel”). Cognate with Latvian làuskāt (“to flake, to peel”) (East Baltic dialectal, where the sustained and falling tones are merged). Derksen also notes Latvian laûska (“fragment, splinter, potsherd”) but suggests it may be etymologically unrelated, derived instead from laûzt (“to break”), from Proto-Indo-European *louǵ-sk-.
- Vasmer, contra Derksen, endorses the connection with Latvian laûska and adds as cognates Latvian lauskas (“dandruff, husks”, pl.), Lithuanian lùskos (“rags”, pl.), lùskis (“ragamuffin”), lùkštas, lū́kštas (“apple peel, shell, husk”), Latvian laũkšķêt (“to click, to pop”), laušķinât (“to click, to crack, to knock, to make noise”).
