Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Likely borrowed from Proto-West Germanic *budinu (“tub, barrel”), itself from Latin butina, which in turn is from Ancient Greek πῡτῑ́νη (pūtī́nē). Per Trubachev, of native origin from Proto-Indo-European *bʰewdʰ- (“to bulge”) (possibly Proto-Indo-European *bewd- (“to swell”), akin to Proto-Germanic *puttaz (“pot”)) is also plausible.
Noun
*bъdьňa f
Alternative forms
- *bъdьňь m (in South Slavic)
Declension
| singular | dual | plural | |
|---|---|---|---|
| nominative | *bъdьňa | *bъdьňi | *bъdьňę̇ |
| genitive | *bъdьňę̇ | *bъdьňu | *bъdьňь |
| dative | *bъdьňi | *bъdьňama | *bъdьňamъ |

* -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).
