Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *ánˀd-, perhaps originally meaning “one on which to put on (fishing lure, bait)”, normally interpreted as derivative of *ǫ- + *-da (“locative particle”) (Proto-Indo-European *h₂en- (“on”) + *dʰeh₁- (“to put”)). Akin to Latvian uodne (“bar on which the sleigh body stands”), eñdas (“part of a peasant's sleigh”).
Alternative hypotheses conjure possible descent from Proto-Indo-European *wendʰ- (“to wind”) (per Mladenov) or from *ǫk- (“hook, crook”) + *-da (per Meillet), initially meaning “something flexible, bendable, crooked”. Perhaps cognate with Albanian unazë (“ring”).
Alternative forms
- *ǫ̀dъ m, *ǫ̀do n

* -asъ is the expected Balto-Slavic form but is found only in some Old Czech documents; -axъ is found everywhere else and is formed by analogy with other locative plurals in -xъ.
** The second form occurs in languages that contract early across /j/ (e.g. Czech), while the first form occurs in languages that do not (e.g. Russian).
