Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/soti
Proto-Slavic
editEtymology
editProbably reflects an archaic perfect of otherwise disputed root:
- Meillet, Vasmer: Derived from Proto-Indo-European *ḱep- (“to blow, to grunt”), akin to Sanskrit शपति (śapati, “to curse, to blame”).
- Snoj: From Proto-Indo-European *swep- (“to sleep”) (presumably originally: “to breathe heavily”[1]), with counterparts in Baltic such as Lithuanian svėpúoti (“to inhale”), Latvian svēpēt (“to smoke”).
Verb
edit*so(p)ti impf (perfective *sopnǫti)[1]
