arklas

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *árˀtla; compare Latvian ar̂kls, Proto-Slavic *òrdlo. From Proto-Indo-European *h₂(e)rh₃-tlom (“plough”), from *h₂erh₃- (“to plough”). The word is equivalent to arti (“plough”) +‎ -klas; see for more. Cognates include Old Armenian արաւր (arawr), Old Norse arðr, Ancient Greek ἄροτρον (árotron). The Greek and Armenian terms may reflect the zero-grade, in which case the Proto-Balto-Slavic full-grade may be analogical after *arˀ- (“to plough”); compare ìrklas (“oar”).[1]
