Etymology

    Perhaps continuing Proto-Balto-Slavic *-adāˀ. Rare suffix with unclear functions. Possibly related with Ancient Greek -άδος (-ádos) in genitive case of feminine nouns, see Παλλάς (Pallás), δορκᾰ́ς (dorkắs).

    Suffix

    *-oda f[1]

    1. Forming names of the plants
      *aga (“berry”) → *àgoda (“berry”)
      *albʰós (“white”) → *olboda (“goosefoot”)
    2. Forming abstract nouns
      *svobъ (“one's own”) → *svobodà (“freedom”)

    * -asъ is the expected Balto-Slavic form but is found only in some Old Czech documents; -axъ is found everywhere else and is formed by analogy with other locative plurals in -xъ.
    ** The second form occurs in languages that contract early across /j/ (e.g. Czech), while the first form occurs in languages that do not (e.g. Russian).
