Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *kréˀsla, from an earlier *kréˀslan, from Proto-Indo-European *kreh₁s-lo-m

Compare Lithuanian krė́slas (arm-chair, chair), Latvian krēsls/krę̂sls (chair), Old Prussian creslan (chair); also compare Lithuanian kràstis (verb), krãsė / krẽsė (chair), Latvian kreša, kreslis.

  • Baltic words are cognates (Vasmer, Fraenkel, Vaillant, Derksen)
  • Baltic words are borrowed (Brückner, ЭССЯ)

Reconstruction

Per Nikolaev, the accent paradigm ⟨a⟩ from mobile accent is explained by the alignment of the accent curve by the nominative and accusative plural cases, in which Hirt's law occurred. The same alignment occurred in Lithuanian and Latvian. After that, certain doublets appeared in the Baltic dialects.

Noun

*krě̀slo n[1][2]

  1. arm-chair, chair
    Synonym: *stòlъ
