Proto-Slavic

edit

Etymology 1

edit

Note that Vasmer derives Old Church Slavonic перѫтъ (perǫtŭ, they fly) from Proto-Slavic *perti (to fly) (etymologically separate from the normal verb of that shape). This derivation is not consistent with evidence from other languages, which show that *perti has 1sg. *pьrǫ rather than **perǫ. Vasmer also includes Russian пере́ть (perétʹ, to move, to travel) as a derivative of this putative verb rather than as a colloquial, secondary development from the primary meaning "to drag".
