Proto-Slavic

Etymology

U-vocalism of Proto-Slavic *dira, from the intensive stem of *dъrati (“to tear”) +‎ *-a, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *der- (“to tear”). Trubachev explains *-y- with the influence of prefixed forms in Proto-Slavic *u- such as Proto-Slavic *udъriti (“to flench”), which hardened the root vowel. A similar development is attested in Lithuanian dùrti (“to stab, to prick”), Latvian dur̃t (“to stab, to prick”).[1]

Noun

*dyrà f

  1. crack, snick, notch
    Synonyms: *rězъ, *pazina, *želbъ

** The second form occurs in languages that contract early across /j/ (e.g. Czech), while the first form occurs in languages that do not (e.g. Russian).
