RUSSIAN DIALECTAL ADDITIONS TO PROTO-SLAVIC RECONSTRUCTIONS AND ETYMOLOGIES. VI

Newly published Russian dialectal lexical data attested in few regions can be a valuable source of refinements and additions to existent Pro-to-Slavic reconstructions and etymologies. The article comprises eight sketches, each proposing a dialectal word to be considered as belonging to an established Proto-Slavic reconstructed lexical unit, which allows to elaborate or refine a structural, or a semantic, or a linguistic-geographic, or another aspect of the reconstruction: to *pъtati (sę) — проп(о)таться ‘achieve, obtain’; to *motrošiti / *motrositi (sę) — потросить ‘to be drizzling (of rain)’; to *vьlovъjь — воловый ‘calm, imperturbable’; to *kyjь — кой ‘large wooden hammer’; to *blǫkati — заблякнуть ’to rape’; to *tvorogъ / *tvarogъ — вытворáживать ‘commit mischievous acts’; to *strěla — выстрелить ‘to jack up, level (a house, building)’; to *čьrxаti и *čьrstvъ(jь) — вычерхнуть ‘grow thin, emaciated’.
