Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From either Proto-Indo-European *sm̥- (“one, same”) in which case inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic *san and cognate with Latvian sa-, Lithuanian su, or from Proto-Indo-European *ḱom (“with”).

Etymologically identical to the nominal prefix Proto-Slavic *sǫ-. The difference in development is because of the looser juncture between early Proto-Slavic verbs and preverbs: thus, preverbal *sun was subject to Slavic Auslautgesetze. A similar situation is found in modern German. Not to be confused with Proto-Slavic *sъ- (“good”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁su-.

Preposition

*sъ(n)

  1. (with instrumental) with, accompanying, alongside
  2. (with instrumental) with, by means of, using

Usage notes

Because of the law of open syllables, the final -n was normally dropped. But when combined with a stem that originally began with /j/, it was attached to the following word. Cf. Russian ею (jeju), but с (s) нею (neju) (*sъn jejǫ > /snˈeju/) etc.
