Etymology
editUpper Sorbian words mostly derive from Proto-Slavic (sla-pro
), the shared ancestor of among others Polish, Czech and Russian. Proto-Slavic, in turn, is the descendant of Proto-Balto-Slavic (ine-bsl-pro
) and Proto-Indo-European (ine-pro
). The entries of these words should contain the template {{inh+}}
