Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Cognate with Proto-Germanic *dalą ~ *dalaz n or m (“valley”), Welsh dol f (“valley”), suggesting Proto-Indo-European *dʰól(h₂)os (“valley; vault, cavity”).[1][2][3] Relation with Ancient Greek θόλος (thólos, “cavity”) or borrowing from Germanic is usually rejected.

The adverb was derived from the accusative of the noun.

Noun

*dȍlъ m[4][5][6][7]

  1. hole, cavity
  2. ditch, moat
  3. tomb, grave
  4. valley
  5. (South Slavic) riverbed
  6. (North Slavic) bottom (low part of something)

Declension

Milleit (see Derksen's comment in EDSIL) assumes that the u-stem declension, attested in OCS, Lechitic, Czech, Ukrainian, is due to association with the antonym *vьrxъ (“top”) (u-stem).
