ENThe article discusses the etymologies of the Slavic etyma reflected in Russian norov ‘character, nature’, mjat’ ‘to rumple, break (flax), scutch’, ruž’ë ‘weaponry’, dialectal xajat’ ‘to care’ and xovat’ ‘to keep, hide, steal’. Baltic cognates of the first three are Old Prussian arwis ‘true, real’, Lithuanian mìnti ‘to trample, scutch’ and reñgti ‘to prepare, equip’. In each case existing etymologies are analyzed and a new etymology is proposed. All words are argued to have cognates in other branches of Indo-European. They are derived from Proto-Indo-European *h2er- ‘to fix, adjust, make proper’, *meiH- ‘to diminish’, *uerg-́ ‘to act, work’ and *keh2- ‘to love, care’ respectively. [From the publication]
