Reconstruction:Proto-Balto-Slavic/séiˀta
Proto-Balto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *seh₁y-tom,[1][2] perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *seh₁- (“to impress, insert; to sow, to plant”). Derksen, however, deduces a sense meaning "to sift" for *seh₁-, which he implicitly separates from the "sow, insert" senses, and adduces only Old Norse sáld n (“sieve, riddle”) (< *seh₁-tlo-m) as a cognate.[3]
