Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *kréˀsla, from an earlier *kréˀslan, from Proto-Indo-European *kreh₁s-lo-m
- Derksen: From Proto-Balto-Slavic *kréˀsla;
- Nikolaev: From Proto-Balto-Slavic *krēˀslá (“arm-chair, chair”), from Proto-Indo-European *kreh₁s-lo-m;
- ESSJa: From *kretslo, from *kret- + *-slo, from Proto-Indo-European *kret-, variant of *kert- (“to spin, knit”);
- Vaillant: From *kres-, further etymology is unclear, not related to *kresati;
- Fraenkel: From *kres-/*kros- (“to braid/weave”);
- Machek: From *krěptlo, from *krěpъ or *krěpiti. But usually the suffix is used with verbs and it would be **krěpidlo.
Compare Lithuanian krė́slas (“arm-chair, chair”), Latvian krēsls/krę̂sls (“chair”), Old Prussian creslan (“chair”); also compare Lithuanian kràstis (verb), krãsė / krẽsė (“chair”), Latvian kreša, kreslis.
- Baltic words are cognates (Vasmer, Fraenkel, Vaillant, Derksen)
- Baltic words are borrowed (Brückner, ЭССЯ)
Reconstruction
Per Nikolaev, the accent paradigm ⟨a⟩ from mobile accent is explained by the alignment of the accent curve by the nominative and accusative plural cases, in which Hirt's law occurred. The same alignment occurred in Lithuanian and Latvian. After that, certain doublets appeared in the Baltic dialects.
