dno

Czech

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ˈdno]

Etymology 1

From Old Czech dno, from Proto-Slavic *dъno, *dbъno (“bottom”), which is probably from Proto-Indo-European *dʰub- or *dʰeub- (*dʰewb-). Cognates are e. g. Lithuanian dùgnas (“bottom”), Latvian dubens (“bottom”), German Tief (“deep”) and English deep. Transposition from Proto-Indo-European *bʰudʰ- to *dʰubʰ- is also possible. Cognates derived from *bʰudʰ- include German Boden, Latin fundus (compare Czech fond), Ancient Greek πυθμήν (puthmḗn), Old Armenian բուն (bun), Sanskrit बुध्न (budhna) (all meaning "bottom", "base").
