Proto-Balto-Slavic

Etymology

Probably borrowed from a substrate (with the onset *a- perhaps being a prefix in said substratum language), with no certain cognates in non-Balto-Slavic languages; that said, compare Albanian arrë (walnut), Ancient Greek ἄρυα (árua, Heraclean filbert). The connection to Proto-Slavic *rěšiti (to untie, solve),[1] the latter probably from Proto-Indo-European *wreyḱ- (to twist, bend), is semantically unconvincing,[2] and Smoczynski's derivation from a Proto-Indo-European *(h₁)reyḱ- (to tear, break), which he connects to Ancient Greek ἐρείκω (ereíkō, to break, bruise, crush, burst),[3] is formally difficult.
