Etymology

Most likely a learned borrowing from Old Church Slavonic славите ѥго (slavite jego, literally “praise be to him”), respelt via Carpathian Rusyn. The native pronoun in Carpathian Rusyn would be ёго (joho) or його (joho), not *єго (*jeho). Influence through western Old Slovak jeho is even less likely. Compare Ukrainian славімо Його (slavimo Joho).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [slaˈvitɛ ˈjɛɦɔ]
  • Hyphenation: сла‧ви‧те єго

Phrase
