Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/Rimъ
Appearance
Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Latin Rōma. The substitution of ō with *i is enigmatic; many implausible propositions have been made. The source was probably Germanic (compare Proto-Germanic *Rūmō); it is possible to think of a back-formation from *rĩmьskъ, from a reflex of Proto-Germanic *Rūmiskaz with umlaut.
Proper noun
[edit]*Rĩmъ m
Declension
[edit]Declension of *Rĩmъ (hard o-stem, accent paradigm b, uncountable)

- Old Church Slavonic:
- Serbo-Croatian:
- Slovene: Rím (tonal orthography)
