Slavic *v6z6m7, *v7skr6s7

[Alemko Gluhak]

Short description of the article 

*V7z6m7 i *V7skr6s7
Filologija 20--21, 1992--93, p. 117--128

The late Proto-Slavic words *v7skr6s7 and *v7z6m7 'Easter' are formed in the same way: they consist of components of the same meaning. The prefix *v7z- indicates a beginning of an action; *-kr6s7 and *j6m7 mean 'beginning' (*kr6snoNti 'to revive', *jeNti 'to take, to begin'). The maening of the words seems to have a pre-Christian background (Croatian Zeleni Juraj, Russian Jarylo etc.).
