Proto-Slavic

Etymology

    Probably derived from Proto-Indo-European *bʰors- (“to point, to mark”) + *-da (positional particle), related to Sanskrit भृष्टि (bhṛṣṭi, “point, top”) (< *bʰr̥štíš), Proto-Germanic *barzdaz (“edge, brim”).[1] Perhaps further akin[2] to Lithuanian birži̇̀s / bir̃žė (“furrow”), Latvian bìrze (“furrow”), which possibly reflect *bʰerH- (“to pierce”) instead. See references for further discussion.

    *bōrzdà f[3][4]

    1. furrow

    * -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).
