Proto-Slavic

Alternative forms

Etymology

Possibly derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂weg- (“to grow”).

Early scholars (Miklošič, Uhlenbeck, Kiparsky, and still supported by Germanists) presumed borrowing[2] from Old High German obaz, obez or Proto-West Germanic *obaet (“fruit”), which has been dismissed since then (by most Slavists) for phonetic and chronological reasons (though these reasons would not necessarily hold for a pre-OHG borrowing).

Noun

*ovoťe n[2]

  1. flowering plant
  2. (collective) fruitage, vegetables (yield of flowering plants)
