Proto-Slavic

Etymology

PIE word
*swé

From Proto-Indo-European *swet-. Includes the prefix *po-. Cognate with Lithuanian svẽčias (“guest”), Ancient Greek ἕταρος (hétaros, “comrade”). Per Derksen, the lengthened grade of the root is unexpected. The Indo-European root comes from the more basic root *swé (“self”) with a root extension.
