Proto-Slavic

Alternative reconstructions
  • *stǫkъ

Etymology

Either onomatopoeic or from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tew- (“to beat, to strike”) + *-kъ.

Compare Latvian stukât (“to walk with small steps (for children)”), Lithuanian stū́koti (“to knock, to pound”) (with accute perhaps due to influence from stū́gti).

Forms with nasal vocalism (in West Slavic) may be instead from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ten- (“to thunder, to groan”), whence Proto-Slavic *stonъ.
