Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *dalˀniś, akin to e-grade *delˀnāˀ whence Latvian dęl̃nа, Latgalian dalna, Lithuanian délna, délnas.

The Balto-Slavic root is possibly from Proto-Indo-European *delh₁- (to split, to divide) through the initial meaning carved, rasped surface.[1] Doubted by Derksen.[2] Another theory by Kroonen tentatively connects Proto-Germanic *teldaną (to cover), with the Indo-European root reconstructed as *delH- (to spread out), without a specific identity for the laryngeal.[3]

Noun

*dòlnь f[2][4][5]
