Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Of undetermined origin. Speculated to be of expressive origin, derived from *sъskati (“to hiss”) +‎ *-ьlъ, or less likely to descend from *sъsati (“to suck”) +‎ *-ьlъ. Another hypothesis, based on the dialectal variants *sujękъ m / *sujęca f, proposes an origin from *sovati (“to shove, to ditch into”) (related to Proto-Slavic *sudlica (“spear”)). This hypothesis, however, demands *sъsьlъ to reflect a reduplicated form of the root Proto-Balto-Slavic *śauˀ-.

Possibly akin to Latvian susuris (“fat dormouse”).

Noun

*sъ́sьlъ m

  1. ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus)
    Synonyms: *věverica, *bělъka
