Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *auˀkīˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁owk-éye-ti, from *h₁ewk-. Balto-Slavic cognates include Lithuanian jaukìnti, jaukinù (to tame, to domesticate), Latvian jaûcêt (to accustom), Old Prussian iaukint (to exercise). Other Indo-European cognates include Sanskrit उच्यति (ucyati, to be accustomed to), Old Armenian ուսանիմ (usanim, to learn), Gothic 𐌱𐌹𐌿𐌷𐍄𐍃 (biūhts, accustomed to).

Derksen has a complex discussion of the possible origin of the acute tone in Balto-Slavic, boiling down to a suggestion by Frederik Kortlandt that initial *u- yielded Balto-Slavic acute under certain conditions.
