Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Based on comparison between the adjective form *dǫbrъ and Proto-Germanic *timrą (“timber”), Lithuanian dum̃blas (“swamp”), it appears that the etymon descends from a Caland's root (probably Proto-Indo-European *dem- (“to build”)). The exact etymology, however, is uncertain.

The etynom is attested both as an o-stem and as a u-stem, but per Vasmer, the original more likely was u-stem.
