Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/korva

Etymology
From, irregular centum reflex of , from.

Matasović (2008) argues that it was borrowed from Celtic in prehistorical times due to the impossibility of deriving it by regular sound laws:
 * PIE > Proto-Celtic *kerawā > *karawā (Joseph's rule) > Early Proto-Slavic *karwā > Common Slavic *kőrva.

Alternatively, Matasović's Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Celtic (2009) lists the Old Church Slavonic form krava “cow” as being related to the 🇨🇬, ultimately coming from 🇨🇬 (the first element of *ḱerh₂weh₂).

Baltic cognates (either similarly irregularly inherited via Balto-Slavic, or borrowed from Celtic or Slavic) include Lithuanian and Old Prussian. For further Indo-European cognates see.
