Reconstruction:Proto-Balto-Slavic/gadás

Etymology
From. Isogloss with 🇨🇬,.

Reconstruction notes
Modern descendants (in both Baltic and Slavic branches) happen to convey the meaning “year”. Inner comparison, however, seems to indicate primary semantics along the lines of “suitable, festive time” (attested in 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬) or “gathering, matching” (attested in 🇨🇬, ). It is possible that 🇨🇬 originally denoted some holiday or pagan tradition (cf. Slavic Koleda, Germanic Yule) honouring the end of the year, whence the modern sense.

The accent paradigm is reconstructed solely on the basis of Slavic.
