Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/Strybogъ

This Proto-Slavic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From *strybъ from *stry-, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *srū-, from Proto-Indo-European *srew- (“to flow, stream”) + *-ogъ. For the structure compare *Sъvarogъ.

Old East Slavic Стрибогъ (Stribogŭ) instead of expected **Стрыбогъ can be explained by mixing i and y attested for southern Old East Slavic texts since 11ᵗʰ cent. which is explained as South Slavic influence, cf. Ukrainian Стрий (Stryj) : Стрый (Stryj), Стрына (Stryna) : Стрина (Stryna).[1]

The theonym is also often reconstructed as *Stribogъ, from *stьri (“to extend, spread”) + *bogъ, for the structure compare *Daďьbogъ. This etymology is possible, but unlikely due to the uniqueness of the etymology of *Daďьbogъ, which has its origin in a wish-formula (see *daďь bože).

Proper noun

*Strybogъ m[2]

  1. (Slavic mythology) Stribog (Slavic god of the water or river)
