Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/plugъ

This Proto-Slavic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Slavic
*plugъ (museum exhibit)

Etymology

Borrowed from a Germanic language[1] (compare Old High German pfluog), from Proto-Germanic *plōgaz ~ *plōguz. Also loaned into Lithuanian plūgas.

Noun

*plùgъ m[1][2][3]

  1. plough
    Hyponyms: *ordlo (“ard plough”), *soxa (“stick plough”)

Usage notes

The term may have originally referred to frame-ploughs, invented around 1st cent. AD by the Romans. It was probably intended for plowing tougher soils, which could not be handled by simpler tools such as *ordlo and *soxa. According to Schuster-Šewc, the tool had spread from Raetia or Eastern Gallia into the Langobards and from them into the remaining Germanic and Central European people.
