Derived from Proto-Slavic *poduxa (whence Ukrainian по́духа (póduxa), Old Czech poducha); also compare Proto-Slavic *duxъna (feather-bedspread).

      Во вторник, поздно проснувшись, он почувствовал некоторую ломоту в ногах и облокотившись на подушку, раза два с тревожным, изумлённым блаженством вздохнул, вспомнив, что вчера случилось.
      Vo vtornik, pozdno prosnuvšisʹ, on počuvstvoval nekotoruju lomotu v nogax i oblokotivšisʹ na podušku, raza dva s trevožnym, izumljónnym blaženstvom vzdoxnul, vspomniv, što včera slučilosʹ.
      Waking late on Tuesday morning, he felt some ache in his calves and, leaning his elbow on his pillow, he sighed once or twice, startled and amazed with the delight of it as he remembered what had happened that night.
