обоумати

Old Novgorodian

Etymology

From early *обꙑмати (*obymati) < contraction of *объимати (*obŷimati), inherited from Proto-Slavic *obъjьmati. The initial обоу- (obu-) reflects the Old Novgorodian dialectal transition ꙑ (y) > оу (u) after a labial consonant (i.e. assimilative labialization).[1] Cognate with Old East Slavic объимати (obŷimati), Russian dialectal обыма́ть (obymátʹ), Old Ruthenian обыйма́ти (obyjmáti), обойма́ти (obojmáti), Ukrainian обійма́ти (obijmáty), Belarusian dialectal абыйма́ць (abyjmácʹ), Church Slavonic объимати (obŷimati), Old Czech objímati, Old Slovak objímať.
