Proto-Slavic

Etymology 1

From *sъmetana (Etymology 2).[1]

Forms with nasal infix (e.g. borrowed Romanian smântână) are probably due to confusion with *sъmęsti (“to commingle”).

Noun

*sъmetana f[1][2]

  1. smetana (whipped cream)
Inflection
Declension of *sъmetana (hard a-stem)
singular dual plural
nominative *sъmetana *sъmetaně *sъmetany
genitive *sъmetany *sъmetanu *sъmetanъ
dative *sъmetaně *sъmetanama *sъmetanamъ
accusative *sъmetanǫ *sъmetaně *sъmetany

locative *sъmetaně *sъmetanu *sъmetanasъ, *sъmetanaxъ*

* -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).
