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]

Noun

*séiˀta n[1][2][4]

  1. sieve
