stirna

Etymology
From, from , from , with an extra -n (from which also 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and also ), which yielded 🇨🇬 archaic.

The presence of a t has given rise to various explanations: st- < *ts-; metathesis (sirna > *srina) with t epenthesis; contamination or influence from some other animal name, e.g., ; borrowing from a Slavic language with changes to conform to Baltic pronunciation. More recently, it has been suggested that might come from Proto-Indo-European  in the reduced grade *sr̥-no-, causing t epenthesis in Baltic. Cognates include 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.

Noun
