Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From *sedmь (“7”) + *-ica.
Compare Upper Sorbian sedmka, sedymka (“7-pip card”),[1] Lower Sorbian sedymka (“7”),[2] Belarusian сёмка (sjómka, “7-pip card”),[3] семъ-дзёнъ (“7-days-old animal”),[4] Ukrainian сі́мка (símka, “7; 7-pip card”)[5] and Russian семи́на (semína, “week”).[6]
Meaning "week" is calque of Ancient Greek ἑβδομάς (hebdomás, “7; 7 days, week; 7 years”) or Vulgar Latin septimāna (“week”). See also Latin hebdomas, Tajik ҳафта (hafta, “week”), Sanskrit सप्ताह (saptāha, “7 days, week”), Hungarian hét (“7; week”).
Per Melnychuk, Old East Slavic седмица (sedmica) is borrowing from Church Slavonic.[7]
Noun
*sedmica f
- septuple (set or order of seven)
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).
