Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/dvigati

This Proto-Slavic entry contains reconstructed words and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From *d(ъ)vigъ (branching, buttress serving as lever), from *d(ъ)va (2) + *-igъ. Compare German Zweig (branch < branching), from Zwei (2).

The loss of -v- in South Slavic is secondary. For a similar phenomenon, compare Serbo-Croatian storiti (to do, to commit), Bulgarian сторя (storja, to do) < *sъtvoriti.

Verb

*dvigati impf (perfective *dvignǫti) [1]

  1. to raise, lift, move up
