Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Perhaps continuing Proto-Balto-Slavic *-adāˀ. Rare suffix with unclear functions. Possibly related with Ancient Greek -άδος (-ádos) in genitive case of feminine nouns, see Παλλάς (Pallás), δορκᾰ́ς (dorkás).
Suffix
*-oda f[1]
- Forming names of the plants
- *aga (“berry”) → *àgoda (“berry”)
- *albʰós (“white”) → *olboda (“goosefoot”)
- Forming abstract nouns
- *svobъ (“one's own”) → *svobodà (“freedom”)
- *laga (“something arranged”) → *lagoda (“carelessness, pleasure”)
Declension
* -asъ is the expected Balto-Slavic form but is found only in some Old Czech documents; -axъ is found everywhere else and is formed by analogy with other locative plurals in -xъ.
** The second form occurs in languages that contract early across /j/ (e.g. Czech), while the first form occurs in languages that do not (e.g. Russian).
