Etymology
(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)
For the meaning "cod" compare Polish wątłusz (“cod”) (< wątły (“frail”)), Slovene polénovka (< poléno (“log”)), German Stockfisch (“stockfish”) (< Stock (“stick”)). Less likely, cognate with Proto-Germanic *þurskaz (< *ters- (“to dry; wither; thirst”)).
Noun
*trěska f
- sliver, chip, splinter
- cod (the fish) (East Slavic and Slovene only)
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).
