Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *wēˀdná, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁wed-no-m, from *h₁wed- (“dowry”). Cognate with Ancient Greek ἕδνον (hédnon), Proto-Germanic *wetmô.

Traditionally also compared (per Vasmer, Brückner, Meillet) with Latin vēnum (“sale”), Sanskrit वस्न (vasná, “price”) from Proto-Indo-European *wesno-, but phonetically problematic - the expected outcome from this root would be Proto-Slavic **vesno, as in Proto-Slavic *vesna (“spring”) from Proto-Indo-European *wésr̥.

  1. bride-price
