From Early Proto-Slavic *ígrā˙, from Proto-Balto-Slavic*ígrāˀ, probably from Proto-Indo-European*h₂ig-réh₂, from *h₂eyg-(“to stir, set in motion”), and cognate with Sanskritएजति(éjati, “to move, stir”), Ancient Greekαἰγίς(aigís, “aegis shield”). However, the lack of lengthening of the *í in the Proto-Balto-Slavic form is formally concerning due to conflict with Winter's law.
*-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).
