Etymology
Deverbial from *otrǫbati (< *ot- + *rǫbati), *otrǫbiti (< *ot- + *rǫbiti) + *-a, originally referring to “something pared”.
Noun
*ȍtrǫba f
- (usually in the plural) bran (outer layers of cereal grain)
Declension
* -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).
