Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/věno
Proto-Slavic edit
Etymology edit
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *wēˀdná, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁wed-no-m, from *h₁wed- (“dowry”). Cognate with Ancient Greek ἕδνον (hédnon), Proto-Germanic *wetmô.
Traditionally also compared (per Vasmer, Brückner, Meillet) with Latin vēnum (“sale”), Sanskrit वस्न (vasná, “price”) from Proto-Indo-European *wesno-, but phonetically problematic - the expected outcome from this root would be Proto-Slavic **vesno, as in Proto-Slavic *vesna (“spring”) from Proto-Indo-European *wésr̥.
Noun edit
- bride-price
- Synonym: *pridanь
