Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/listъ
Proto-Slavic
editEtymology
editCognate with Lithuanian laĩškas, láiškas (“letter”), Latvian laiska (“leaf of a flax stalk”), laiksne (“white water-lily”), and Old Prussian lāiskas (“book”). Baltic forms require pre-form of Proto-Balto-Slavic *laiskas, while Slavic forms require *leistas. Ultimately possibly from Proto-Indo-European *leyd- (“to let”).[1]
