Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/sǫdi
Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *som-dʰh₁-ih₂, from *som- (“together”) + *dʰeh₁- (“to place, do”) + *-ih₂.[1] Cognate with Lithuanian samdà (“rent”), samdýti (“to hire”), Sanskrit संधि (saṃdhí, “connection, treaty, peace”).
Reconstruction
Per Derksen, *sǫdì already had word-final accent before the operation of Dybo's law (*sǫ- still behaved as a prefix) and hence *sǫ- remained short. Russian судья́ (sudʹjá) reflects *sǫdьjà from earlier *sǫdь̀ja by Dybo's law.
Noun
*sǫdì m[1]

* -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).
