Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From earlier *dъbno, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *dúbna, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰubʰnóm. Cognate with Lithuanian dùgnas (“bottom”) (< *dùbnas) and akin to Old Prussian padaubis (“dale”).

Per Trubačev, perhaps grammaticized from the oblique form of an earlier r/n-stem, whose direct reflex had yielded Proto-Slavic *dъbrь.

Noun

*dъnò n[1][2][3]

bottom, base

Alternative forms

*bъno < earlier *bъdno (attested in Sorbian)
