Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/žaba

Etymology
From an earlier, of uncertain origin.

Comparison has been drawn with 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬, however, neither of these lemmas agree on the quality of the root vowel. It has been proposed that only the Slavic and Prussian words are actually related, ultimately descending from ~. The hypothesis goes that the Proto-Indo-European laryngeal was reflected as *-h₂- > *-ə- > *-e- in pre-Slavic and eventually lengthened by the following -b- due to Winter's law. Suggested cognates under this etymology are 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.
