Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *pilźtei.

Per Derksen, we must reconstruct a Proto-Indo-European root *pelHǵʰ- with a laryngeal due to the Balto-Slavic acute on the root. Probably connected with *pȏlzъ (sledge runner? reptile? plough sole? ("crawling thing")); possibly connected with Old High German felga (felly, harrow). Chernykh notes the difficulties with this root but suggests a possible relationship with Proto-Slavic *polsà (strip), with an alternation between voiced and voiceless consonants sometimes observed in other roots.
