Slavic languages compared to Proto-Slavic - Animals

In this video you will see a comparison of several Slavic languages - Russian, Ukrainian, Serbo-Croatian, Polish, Bulgarian, Slovak and Croatian. They are presented in comparison with the Proto-Slavic language for understanding the roots of words.
This video is inspired by "The Language Wolf" channel and his "Romance languages compared to Latin" video.
If you'll write in the comments I will make a continuation with other topics for you.
Enjoy!

In Russian: Lis is a male fox; Lisa or lisica is a female fox

[@BiglerSakura]

and lisa or lisica is also the term for the species in general. Same with kot (m) / koshka (f) or kon' (m) / loshad' (f) and many other examples in which the female form also serves as the name for the entire species.

They also got wrong the word for cattle - it is not "škót", but "dobytok". In our language škót is male of scottish ancestry and I do not want to imply anything. Also the word for snake is "had" similar to Czech and not "zmija". Zmija denotes one specific specie of snake...

In Russian language there also exist words "gad" for snake, "skotina" for cattle, "tvar' / tvarina" for animal (this has a sense of created nature of animals and people, like "creature").

[@Dyomaeth]

"Gad/gadina" and "tvar/tvarina" are also commonly used words in Bulgaria, but with a slightly different meaning. "Gad/gadina" basically means vermin, or pest. "Tvar/tvarina" refers to any animal, in the same way you described, "something created/creature". "Skot/skotina" is cattle for us as well.

[@komacope]

Interesting. In the Czech language the word HAD (snake) G/H is general, ZMIJE (viper) is a specific snake. It should be a secret, taboo word of our agricultural ancestors, who, unlike Christianity, viewed snakes positively as they protected their crops from mice and rodents. Perhaps that is why the old vessels of the first farmers have lines/snakes as ornaments on its surface to protect them. And there is also the word TVOR (creature) in the Czech language, as a living creature (any, including a man, animal, insect, monster - NETVOR).

In Polish we say "żmija" if we wanted to describe a viper, one of the unique venomous snakes from the Viperidae family, which bears a similarity to the Proto-Slavic *zmьja word and is strictly used for that species only. Otherwise, we would always stick to using "wąż", similar to *ožь, to mean any snake species in general. Both Proto-Slavic nouns survived in modern Polish by the look of it, and the rest have only retained one of them according to this video, but I may be wrong and I apologise if I really am.

Худоба may be used in some Russian dialects but often may have different meaning like individual material property of a peasant (including the cattle). Also it is dialectical Belarusian The dialectical words for a cattle in Ukrainian which I know are бидло (bydlo) (like in standard Polish and in The Taraskevitsa Standard of Belarusian, and the usage of this word in this meaning in Russian is something that needs clarification) and марга (marha).

Transcription of Ukrainian word "вовк" is voWk (Ukr. transcr.: [воўк]). The letter "в" is read differently. At the beginning of a word or syllable, В is pronounced as [V]. At the end of a word, at the end of a syllable, as [W]. If a word begins with two letters В, then the first is read as ў=w, and the second as в=v. So, word ввечері = [ўве́чер'і] = [wvecheri] And "птах" is [ptaKH]. Г = H, Ґ = G, Х = KH. So Ukrainian sentence "він ґречно просив горох" we can write as "Vin Grechno prosyW horoKH".

That's a feature of belarusian to merge *v & /w/ at the ends of syllables, but not of ukrainian. The sound /w/ or [ў] is actually separate phoneme and comes either from /u/ or /l/. So in the examples that you showed(vowk & wvečeri) they are actually pronouced not because they are at the end of syllables, but because of this sound change: volk>vowk, uvečeri>wvečeri.

Начнем хотя бы со слова "зверь", в русском несколько синонимов, это и животина, и скот, и тварь, и животное, и естественно зверь, смотря о ком идёт речь.

[@alexandermarkov300]

Нет, в русском языке ближайший синоним к слову зверь - дикое млекопитающее, но это скорее научный термин. Тварь, животное, животина - слишком широкие понятия, а скот/скотина - сельскохозяйственные животные.

[@meme-zv3pg]

With the "Cat", kotka, котка it is quite complicated, possibly Etymology 1) From Proto-Finnic *kocka, from Proto-Finno-Permic *kočka. Cognates include Livvi kotku, Estonian kotkas, Northern Sami goaskin, Erzya kučkan (kucʹkan), Komi-Zyrian kuch (kuč). It means eagle, bird of prey/ scavenger. 2) Proto Celtic cat-, *katto-, *kattā; caught, servant *kaxto 3) From Middle English cat, catte, from Old English catt (“male cat”), catte (“female cat”), from Proto-West Germanic *kattu, from Proto-Germanic *kattuz. From Bulgarian cat (kotka), from Proto-Slavic *kòtъka, from *kotъ. English cat> to catch? Bulgarian docacha, -to catch, reach; Kuka, кука, (hook), . And so on :)

[@mikahamari6420]

Finnish *kotka* means 'eagle'. When I first time saw the Polish word *kotka* and heard its meaning, I thought immediately that it just happens to be word with same form, these kind of coincidences are normal in World's languages. Eagle and cat are both animals, but very different. Without explanation it is very hard to see any connection.

[@radisadjuricic9823]

in the Serbian language, the word "zver" is used when one wants to denote a more dangerous animal that instilled fear in people in the past (wolf, bear, badger - animals with a strong character and large fangs) or is used to describe a person who is very dangerous, unscrupulous, wild in behavior or in general in everyday speech when referring to non-domestic animals, then the words "divlje zveri" are used for the plural or "divlja zver" for the singular, but it does not have a negative connotation because you can call a deer, wild geese, rabbits, pheasants, foxes, etc with it. The words "pas", "ker", "kuče" have the same connotation and meaning, with the fact that the word "pas" is used in literature for a thoroughbred dog, and for a hunting dog the word "ker" and the word "kuče" in most of situations is used for a hybrid or herd guardian. The word "mačka" mostly refers to the feminine gender and to give a name to animal species,while the word "mačor" or "mačak" is used in the masculine gender. The word "lisica" is feminine and names the species as well and the word "lisac" is masculine. The word "vuk" is masculine and names the species and "vučica" is feminine and we had old word that is still in use for that animal, its ,,vučjak"( because the wolf looks like german shepard and we use ,,vučjak" to describe and german shepard dog and the wolf) and we also have and use old word ,,kurjak". The word "medved" is masculine and is used to describe a certain animal species (as well as "wolf", "fox", "fish", etc.), while the word "medvedica" is feminine and in everyday speech the word "mesved" is also used to describe an species. The word "stoka"(english for cattle)is used to denote large livestock, say cattle, cows, oxen, work horses and to a lesser extent to denote sheep, goats, pigs, and the old word that was used for the listed animals was "blago" or in english literal translation is ,,treasure" (it has the connotation and connecting with something that is very important to a man and he keeps it carefully, it is more important to him than gold and money because "blago" once meant everything to a peasant, he lived and fed his family from it) but its mostlly used in today regions of Montenegro,Bosnia and Herzegovina(and in Republika Srpska), most parts of today Croatia where Serbs lived on an mountain terrains as herdman . Word "skot" means a bad person in general,its a litlle bit bad translation in the video and its mixed up with the word ,,stoka". I'm so sorry for my bad english,I don't use it in everyday conversation.

[@dariuszgurdaa8277]

In Polish cattle its bydło, there is no word like skot

[@ahmedmus7684]

Bulgarian: "животно" is for everyday use. "звяр" or " твар" understands everyone but are used less often and mainly in the literature or metaphorically :)

[@ChtoJa]

Wow, just like in russian. We use the word "животное" more often, since "зверь" is more suitable for literary speech. And the "зверь" is also associated with a wild, untamed "животное". For example, a cat, a dog, a bear and a wolf are all "животное", but only a bear and a wolf can be called "зверь" here, since they are dangerous and cannot be tamed. The word "тварь" for animals is used VERY rarely, more often in a religious context, or in a humiliating sense to belittle human dignity, such as in Dostoevsky: " Тварь я дрожащая или право имею?" (Am I a trembling creature or do I have the right? ). But much more often, "тварь" is used simply as an expletive. It is interesting how the russian and bulgarian languages have more common vocabulary, thanks to the Church Slavonic language ;)

[@meme-zv3pg]

In which languages are there still words Зъм (Zum)snake, Змей(Zmey), Ламя (Lamia) ,-dragon? I think it comes from (Proto-Slavic *zemľa, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *źemē, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰéǵʰōm.earth), (From Proto-Slavic *zmьjь. The meaning dragon is likely secondary, evolved from an earlier snake, reptile or more generally a creature that dwells on the ground. From the same root as Bulgarian земя́ (zemjá, “earth, ground”) (е-grade), derived through 0-grade ablaut and the suffix -ей (-ej) and means a general reptile. The word Въже, (Vaje) rope, like polish "wąż" is interesting, isn't it a figurative comparison-snake like?
