Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From *ob- + *rъtь, of disputed origin. Morphologically seems cognate with Proto-Slavic *rъtъ (“mouth, beak; hillock”) from Proto-Indo-European *Hrew-. Compare also dialectal Russian о́бороть (óborotʹ, “strap, bridle”), either from an earlier Proto-Slavic *obvortь (from Proto-Indo-European *wert- (“to turn”)) or a rebracketing of the phrase Proto-Slavic *obъ rъtь (“around the mouth”).
Noun
*obrъtь f
- bridle
- Synonym: *uzda
Declension
* 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).
