Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Compounded term, with the first element *neto- possibly reflecting Proto-Indo-European *nekʷto-, oblique e-grade of *nókʷts (“night”). The second element is usually taken to be *pyřь (“flier”), from the lengthened zero grade of the same root also found in *pariti and *pьrati. Another theory states it is the result of folk etymology or taboo deformation, based on *lepetyřь, *lepotyřь from *lepetati, *lepotati (“to fly irregularly; to be noisy by being screamy”) +‎ *-yřь.[1]

Noun

*netopyřь m[2]

  1. bat (flying mammal)
