ugnis
Lithuanian
Etymology
Usually derived from Proto-Balto-Slavic *ugnis,[1] from Proto-Balto-Slavic *ungnis, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁n̥gʷnis. Cognate with Latin ignis, and Sanskrit अग्नि (agní-, “fire, Agni”), enabling a comparison with anglìs (“coal”). The first -n- (as in Italic) would subsequently have been lost through dissimilation.
The expected reflex of Winter's Law would have been blocked by the cluster -nCn-, compare vanduõ (“water”). However, see Proto-Slavic *vỳgъnjь (“forge, hearth”) < *uˀgnis.[2]
