Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From late Proto-Indo-European *plek- (“to flatten”), akin to Lithuanian plõkas (“table, flat surface”), Ancient Greek πλάξ (pláx, “flat surface”).
Noun
*plòča f[1] (South Slavic)
- plate, slab
- flagstone
Inflection
* -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).
