Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *h₁n̥gʷnis. Cognates include Lithuanian ugnis, Sanskrit अग्नि (agní), and Latin ignis.
According to Kortlandt *ogňь reflects a Balto-Slavic noun *ungnis in which the *-ngn- cluster blocked the operation of Winter's law. The sequence *un was lowered to *on before a tautosyllabic stop, with subsequent loss of the nasal as a result of dissimilation (as in *voda (“water”)). The expected reflex of Winter's law with a long vowel (Balto-Slavic */ū/ > Proto-Slavic */y/) is found in *vygъňь, *vygъňa (“forge”).
