Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Uncertain. Probably onomatopoeic in nature, akin to Proto-Slavic *trǫtъ (“drone”), or borrowed from Old High German trumba (“drums”), itself imitative.
Noun
*trǫbà f[1][2]
- pipe, tube
- trumpet
Inflection
Declension of
*trǭbà (hard a-stem, accent paradigm b)
* -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).
