Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Uncertain.
- Both Derksen and Trubachyov point a relation with Old Norse klakkr (“bump, hillock”), Norwegian klakk, dial. Swedish klakk (“heel (shoe); knoll in the field”), Middle High German klac (“a bang, crack, split”) (from pre-Germanic *gloǵno-), which would make the lemma a descendant of Proto-Indo-European *gleǵn- (see Proto-Slavic *glazъ (“ball, eye”) for further etymology). This etymology however demands that Winter's law was not applied in most of the descending forms.
- Georgiev draws comparison with Sanskrit ग्लह m (glaha, “gaming, dice”).
- Matasović instead compares these Slavic terms with Latin flectō (“to bend”), reconstructing a root Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰleǵʰ- to serve as their ancestor.[1]
