Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/gǫba

Etymology
Probably substantivization of +. Cognate with 🇨🇬 (with métatonie douce),, 🇨🇬. Further origin uncertain:
 * An old hypothesis due to Pedersen, Berneker suggests possible relationship (through metathesis) with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. Doubted by Vasmer, Trubačev, Derksen.
 * Trubačev additionally draws comparison to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 (which however requires a circumflex root). A more likely Germanic cognate is 🇨🇬 (< ).

The sense ‘lip, mouth’ is probably figurative and should not be separated from the sense ‘mushroom’. Some daughter languages exhibit accentual difference between the two meanings, as in the case of 🇨🇬 :.

Noun

 * 1)  fungus, mushroom
 * 2)  sponge
 * 3)  lip, mouth
