Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *auštrā́ˀ (dawn, morning), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewsér (of the dawn or morning, matutinal; eastern), from *h₂ews- (dawn; east).

Baltic cognates include Lithuanian aušrà, dial. auštrà (dawn), Latvian àustra, aũstra (dawn). Indo-European cognates include Ancient Greek αὔρᾱ (aúrā, (esp. cool) breeze, fresh air of the morning), Latin auster (south wind), Proto-Germanic *austrą (east), Proto-Germanic *Austrǭ (Easter, springtime; name of a goddess) (presumably from the goddess of the dawn, lust, fertility and spring, associated with the beginning of the year).

A variant *jutro appears in West Slavic, Slovenian and Serbo-Croatian, and is also attested in Old Church Slavonic, but considered secondary; there are further Slavic lexemes that display an alternation *ju- in West and South Slavic vs. *u- in East Slavic. Variants with *(j)ustr- point to *ustr- < *usr-,[1] the loss of -s- being either due to dissimilation[2] or perhaps due to the law of open syllables, if the -s- was variably assigned to the end of the first syllable. According to Kortlandt, the acute on the root implies a zero-grade variant (which would have parallels in Sanskrit उस्र (usrá-, reddish, ruddy, bright, matutinal), उस्रा (usrā́-, dawn, morning)), which, however, is not attested.[3] The intrusive -t- is regular in Proto-Slavic, compare *ostrъ, *strumy.
