Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/mečь

Etymology
sla-pro. In the past usually believed to be borrowed from 🇨🇬, from 🇨🇬. However, this idea is rejected by modern etymologists e.g. Pronk-Tiethoff, Boryś, ESSJa, because the vowels don't match ( expected). Only Derksen recognizes the possibility of borrowing.

Relation with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 was also suggested, but vowels are still problematic. Relation with 🇨🇬 or 🇨🇬 is also unlikely.

Per Pronk-Tiethoff and Boryś: borrowing from unknown source. Per Petri Kallio Germanic and Slavic words are Wanderworts.

Per : Slavic and Germanic words are borrowed from Celtic, ultimately from 🇨🇬 (cf. 🇨🇬 > 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬), from 🇨🇬.

Other propositions include: from 🇨🇬, relation with 🇨🇬, or with 🇨🇬,.
