шить

Moksha

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ʃitʲ/

Etymology 1

From ши (ši) +‎ -ть (, definite genitive suffix).

Noun

шить • (šiť)

  1. definite singular genitive of ши (ši)

Etymology 2

From ши (ši) +‎ -ть (, adverbial suffix). Serebrennikov calls this suffix "one of the temporalis adverbial suffixes," it has been suggested that it derives from the Uralic ablative, same as Moksha -да (-da), see the latter for more. Alternatively it is to be linked with the Uralic locative *-t. This suffix is not productive, it is found only in a handful of fossilized adverbs.[1] It is etymologically unrelated to the homophonous definite genitive suffix, which is most likely of pronominal origin, cognate with тя (, this).[2]
