Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/dolъ
Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Cognate with Proto-Germanic *dalą ~ *dalaz n or m (“valley”), Welsh dôl f (“valley”), suggesting Proto-Indo-European *dʰól(h₂)os (“valley; vault, cavity”).[1][2][3] Relation with Ancient Greek θόλος (thólos, “round building”) or borrowing from Germanic is usually rejected.
The adverb was derived from the accusative of the noun.
Noun
- hole, cavity
- ditch, moat
- tomb, grave
- valley
- (South Slavic) riverbed
- (North Slavic) bottom (low part of something)
Declension
Milleit (see Derksen's comment in EDSIL) assumes that the u-stem declension, attested in OCS, Lechitic, Czech, Ukrainian, is due to association with the antonym *vьrxъ (“top”) (u-stem).
