подошва
Russian
Etymology
- Inherited from Old East Slavic подъшьва (podŭšĭva, “sole (bottom); foundation”), from Proto-Slavic *podъšьvь, ultimately from Proto-Slavic *šiti (“to sew”). The doublet по́чва (póčva) might have arisen from the Old East Slavic genitive plural подъшьвъ (podŭšĭvŭ), giving Russian genitive plural почевъ (počev), whence по́чва (póčva) by analogical levelling.
- Another possibility is that both подо́шва (podóšva) and по́чва (póčva) come from Proto-Slavic *podъšьvь (whence Czech počev), which would yield nominative *подшевь (*podševʹ) ~ genitive *подошви (*podošvi), each giving rise, after transfer into a-stem, to a complete levelled paradigm.
