Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-European/ḱléwos

Probably cognate with Lithuanian, "glory". --Fsojic (talk) 18:06, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Slavic languages
Definitly cognate with Polish Sława (and in all slavic languages Slava, meaning the same as above in Lithuanian, "Glory", 'fame" - still represented in many ethnic slavic first names (ie. Vladislav, Boleslav / Boleslaus etc.)

Клевета
Any proof that Russian клевета (slander) is related to this? 01:05, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems unlikely because the ḱ normally changes to s in Slavic, like in the word . 02:58, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Descendants: ślā́ˀwāˀ vs. *ślawas
According to sound changes of Proto-Balto-Slavic:


 * ḱ > ś
 * *ewV > *owV
 * *o > *a

*ḱléwos should become *ślawas, which is listed as an ancestor of *slovo, not *ślā́ˀwāˀ which later developed into Slavic *slava. Even the included citation supports *ḱleu-es > *ślow-es (probably an earlier stage of Balto-Slavic before *o merged into *a) > *slovo. There is a similar term listed one page later cognate to Slavic *slovo, and the original PIE root for it is hypotesized to be *klēuh₁-. Mostly aiming this at, who seems to be the one that introduced the edit, but also others in this discussion that mentioned *slava as a probable cognate. SKOgoras (talk) 14:04, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
