blēd̦
Livonian
Etymology
Apparently a borrowing from Latvian blēdis. Karulis lists blēdis as an inherited word cognate with Lithuanian blėdis (“loss, misfortune”), Russian блядь (bljadʹ, “prostitute, wretch”) (Old Church Slavonic блѧдь (blędĭ, “deceit, liar, promiscuous woman”)). By a competing theory the word is a borrowing from Old East Slavic блядь (bljadĭ).[1]
