Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/obida
Proto-Slavic
Etymology
- Milleit, Berneker (favoured by Vasmer, Trubačev (ESSJa)): From regular assimilation of cluster *-bv- → *-b- from Proto-Slavic *ob(v)ida < *o(b) + *viděti (“to see”).
- Miklošič: From *o(b) + *bida,[1] the later presumably related to Proto-Slavic *běda (“harm, trouble”), Lithuanian bai̇̃das (“scare”). Favoured by some early scholars (Schmidt, Uhlenbeck, Mladenov, Preobražensky).
Noun
*obìda f
- alternative reconstruction of *obvida (“resentment”)

* -asъ is the expected Balto-Slavic form but is found only in some Old Czech documents; -axъ is found everywhere else and is formed by analogy with other locative plurals in -xъ.
** 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).
