Etymology

From аѥ (aje, egg) + совати (sovati, to shove) + (-a), equivalent to Proto-Slavic *ȃje + *sovati + *-a.

An example of keeping the original initial *a- without iotation from Proto-Slavic *aje (egg) in a full-valued word. Compare with dialectal Ukrainian айо (ajo, egg) and suffixal derivative Bulgarian dialectal айце́ (ajcé), аце́ (acé).
