Proto-Finnic

Etymology

Probably borrowed from Northwest Germanic *bājan-, from Proto-Germanic *bēaną, with the suffix +‎ *-istadak.[1]

Has also been compared with *paisudak (to swell), perhaps suggesting a common root *pais(ë)- suffixed with *-tadak. Another Germanic root, Proto-Germanic *bakaną is semantically closer, but would have resulted in **pagista- with -g- preserved in Ludian and Veps.

Verb

*paistadak (stem *paista-)[2]

  1. (intransitive) to shine (of the sun)
  2. (transitive) to bake, roast, fry
