Marusenko (in regard to the Russian/Ukrainian descendants) proposes native back-formation from Proto-Slavic*obaliti(“to submerge, to collapse”) < *ob-valiti.
*-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).
