From *pьrati (“to beat, hit”) +‎ *-ťa.[1][2]

Noun

*porťa f

  1. sling (projectile weapon)
    Synonym: *porkъ
Inflection
Declension of *porťa (soft a-stem)
singular dual plural
nominative *porťa *porťi *porťę̇
genitive *porťę̇ *porťu *porťь
dative *porťi *porťama *porťamъ

* -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).
