Proto-Slavic

Etymology

  • Per Derksen, Vasmer and Chernykh, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷōy-, from the root *kʷey-. Cognate with *cěnà (price, value), which is an exact reflex of Ancient Greek ποινή (poinḗ, penance, penalty), Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬉𐬥𐬁 (kaēnā, penance, penalty, punishment, revenge). Also cognate with Sanskrit चयते (cáyate, to avenge, to punish), Avestan 𐬐𐬁𐬌𐬌- (kāii-, to repent), 𐬗𐬌𐬐𐬀𐬌𐬌𐬀𐬝 (cikaiiat̰, to cause to repent, to avenge, to punish), Ancient Greek τίνω (tínō, to cry, to repent) (Homeric τῑ́νω (tī́nō)).
  • Per Rix (LIV), cognate with *čàjati (to expect, to wait), from a different Proto-Indo-European root *kʷey- (to perceive, to observe) (this root is reconstructed as *kʷeh₁y- by Derksen).
