Proto-Balto-Slavic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *wésr̥ ~ *uséns, *wósr̥ ~ *wésn̥s.

Noun[edit]

*was(e)r n or f[1][2]

  1. spring (season)

Inflection[edit]

Heteroclitic *was(er) ~ *wesn-. The word was originally neuter in PIE, but is feminine in all the descendants, so it's unclear what the Balto-Slavic state of things was.

Descendants[edit]

  • Latgalian: vosora
  • Latvian: vasara
  • Lithuanian: vãsara, (dialectal) vãsera
  • Proto-Slavic: *vesnà (see there for further descendants)
