Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/xlěbъ

Etymology
Borrowed from a language, probably  (🇨🇬) which has the root final  (phonetically probably ) in the nominative, vocative, and accusative singular and  (phonetically probably ) in the oblique case forms. The fricative was replaced by the labial stop since Proto-Slavic did not have labial fricatives. Alternatively it may be from 🇨🇬.

Noun

Usage notes
