Proto-Germanic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *sleyg-, *sleyǵ- (“to glide, smooth, spread”). Cognate with Old Irish sligim (“to smear”) and Proto-Slavic *slizъkъ (“smooth, slime”).[1]

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Is PIE *(s)ley- (“to slip, slide, be slimy”) the ancestor of *sleyg-? There's a strong phonetic and semantic similarity here, as well as with *sleydʰ- (“to slip, be slick”). Perhaps these are all extensions of *(s)ley-, see more at the page for *sleydʰ-.”
