17 luska

luska Grammatical information: f. ā Proto-Slavic meaning: `peel, shell, pod, scale'
Page in Trubačev: XVI 188-191

Russian:

luská (Da l') `skin, peel, chaff' [f ā]

Czech:

luska (obs.) `pod, husk' [f ā]

Old Czech:

luska `iron scale' [f ā]

Polish:

ɫuska `pod, shell, scale (of fish, reptiles)' [f ā]

Upper Sorbian:

ɫuska `pod' [f ā]

Serbo-Croatian:

ljȕska `shell, pod, scale (of fish, reptiles)' [f ā];

lȕska (arch.) `skin, shell, pod, scale (of fish), splinter' [f ā];

Čak. lūskȁ (Orbanići) `splinter' [f ā], lūskȍ [Accs]

Slovene:

lȗska `scale, bran' [f ā]

Latvian:

làuskas² `flake, dandruff' [Nompf ā]

Comments: According to Vaillant, * luska is derived from the verb * luskati < * lup-sk-ati (< * loup-). Though the accentuation of several forms is in conflict with this etymology, its is nevertheless an attractive solution. The East Latvian form làuskas² may very well differ etymologically from laûska `something broken, potsherd, splinter, the breaker (personification of frost)', which clearly derive from laûzt `break'. This raises the question to what extent *louǵ-sk- may be present in Slavic.
