Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From a Proto-Indo-European root that appears to have had several byforms. The Slavic appears to go back to *gnid- or *gʷnid-, while Germanic *hnits points to *knid- or *ḱnid-, Celtic *snid- (Old Irish sned, Welsh nedd) to *snid-, and Albanian thëri and Ancient Greek κονίς (konís) to *ḱonid- (or maybe *ḱh₃nid-?).

Noun

*gňìda f [1][2]

  1. nit (louse egg)

* -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).
