Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Mostly likely from *šulъ (“broken”) +‎ *-ьga, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *śjaulas, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱsewlos, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱsewl-, from *ḱes- (“to cut”). The alleged connection with *šȗjь (“left”) is probably erroneous.

  1. (originally) maimed, chopped off (without right hand)
  2. (East Slavic) left-handed
  • *šulo, *šula (“post, pole, block, log”)
