Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic *dál(j)āˀ, from Proto-Indo-European *delh₁- (“to split, divide”). Cognate with Lithuanian dalà.
Noun
*dola f
- South Slavic form of *doľa (“share, lot; fate”)
Inflection
* -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).
