单词 žodis
释义

žodis

Lithuanian

Alternative forms

  • (Samogitian) žuodis

Etymology

An extended-grade deverbative < archaic žàsti (speak; awaken); see žadė́ti (promise). Cognate with Latvian zadinât (ridicule, blame; debate). Blažek's connection with Ancient Greek γηθέω (gēthéō, be glad), Tocharian A kācke (joy happiness), Tocharian B katkauña (happiness)[1] < Proto-Indo-European *ǵeh₂dʰ-[2] fails to explain the underlying short vowel, and is, on balance, semantically rather weak. The -õ- is a secondary lengthened grade, as is typical for deverbals in -is.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈʐoː.dʲɪs/
