Word: золо́вка

Near etymology: "сестра мужа", диал. зо́лва, зо́лвица, укр. золви́ця, цслав. зълъва γάλως, ср.-болг. злъва, болг. зъ́лва, зап.-болг. зо́лва, сербохорв. за̏ова, за̑ва, словен. zȏlva, др.-чеш. zelva, польск. zеɫwа, zоɫwа.

Further etymology: Праслав. *zъlу, род. п. *zъlъve родственно лат. glōs, род. п. glōris "золовка", греч. *γάλωος, гомер. дат. п. γαλόῳ, род. п. мн. ч. γαλόων, атт. γάλως, фриг. γέλαρος, γάλλαρος ̇ ἀδελφοῦ γυνή; см.

Number: 561

Root: ĝ(_e)lōu̯-

English meaning: sister-in-law

German meaning: `Schwester des Gatten'

Material: Gr. *γάλωος in hom. Dat. Sg. und Nom. Pl. γαλόῳ, Gen. Pl. γαλόων, att. γάλως, Gen. γάλω `Mannes Schwester';

lat. glōs, glōris `Mannes Schwester, Frau des Bruders' (*ĝlō[u]s);

spätksl. zъlъva, ačech. zelva, serb. zȁova, russ. zoɫóvka `Mannes Schwester';

vielleicht auch arm. tal `Mannes Schwester' (für *cal nach taigr `Mannes Bruder').

Daß phryg. γέλαρος ἀδελφου̃ γυνή Hes., auch γάλλαρος, hierher gehört, ist höchst fraglich; ob für *γελαος verschrieben?

Nach Jokl EbertsRL. X 142^b wäre der nichtpalatale Guttural durch Einfluß des ɫ bedingt, worauf auch poln. żeɫw, żoɫwica (*g_eluu̯ā) neben zeɫw, zoɫwica (*ĝ_eluu̯ā) `Schwester des Mannes' hinweisen sollen; vgl. jedoch das unter ĝhel- über bslav. gel- `gelb' Ausgeführte.

Ein gr. kons. St. *γάλω[u̯]-ς hat Übertritt (nur der Kasus obliqui) in die o-Dekl. erfahren; im Slav. liegt ein alter ū-Stamm zьly, Gen. zъlъve, vor, der mit lat. glōs verglichen werden könnte.

Comments: ОСНЯ 1, 296, Räsänen 1955, 18:3, 9. A well known Turk.-Tung. isogloss. Despite Doerfer TMN 3, 667 (Tung.-Turk.: "...der Vergleich zweifelhaft bleibt"; Turk. *gelin < *gel- 'come' - "ethnologisch sehr überzeugende Etymologie"...), the relation between PT *gẹl- 'to come' and *gẹlin 'daughter-in-law' is purely folk-etymological.
