Post a Comment Proto-Slavic *čelnъ: Semantics and Etymology
Abstract
The article attempts to reconstruct the semantics of the Proto-Slavic word *čelnъ, as well as its diminutive form *čelnъkъ. Based on extensive historical and dialectal material, the author draws the conclusion that the initial meanings of the word were ‘joint’, ‘a joint of the finger’ and ‘a node of the stem’. It is demonstrated that *čelnъ belonged to the *-u-declination and was a derivative with *-nu-. As the suffix *-nu- formed deverbatives, *čelnъ should also be considered a noun formed from a verb. The most probable underlying verb is *kwelh1- ‘to turn’.
