Bulgarian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Disputed:
- Traditionally has been compared to Ancient Greek ἀκτέᾱ (aktéā, “elder”) (per Miklošič), however, the phonetics do not match;
- Per Berneker: possibly of Proto-Slavic origin, related to *xobotъ (“proboscis”), equivalent to *xab- -ъд (-ǎd).
Cognate (via other suffixes) to dialectal Serbo-Croatian абда/хабат (“elder”), Slovene habát/həbȃt (“elderberry”).
