Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Probably derived from Proto-Indo-European *bʰors- (to point, to mark) + *-da (positional particle), related to Sanskrit भृष्टि (bhṛṣṭi, point, top) (< *bʰr̥štíš), Proto-Germanic *barzdaz (edge, brim). Perhaps further akin to Lithuanian birži̇̀s / bir̃žė (furrow), Latvian bìrze (furrow), which possibly reflect *bʰerH- (to pierce) instead. See references for further discussion.

* -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).
