Talk:cucić

@Guldrelokk: Hi. This verb is given as a descendant of both *otjutiti (through Old Polish ocucić) and *ťutiti. Do you know which is right? Per utramque cavernam 19:28, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

@Per utramque cavernam: Forms without o- are usually considered back-formations (*ot-jutiti reanalysed as o-cucić), see Vasmer очутиться. Against that, see ESSJa XXXVII 32: *otъjutiti would be expected, but their rant does not contain a tenable alternative etymology (an initial *č- is completely out of question). *otjutiti should probably be moved to *oťutiti per Wiktionary notation, and *ťutiti deleted.

@Guldrelokk: Thanks. I've done just that. Per utramque cavernam 15:09, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
