Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/dolka

• *tlaka[1] (presuming cognate Old Czech tlaka (“facial hair”), Polish kłak (“tuft”))
• *dlaka, *d(ь)laka (per ESSJa)

Uncertain. Limited to South Slavic languages. Reconstructed as Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) since Proto-Slavic *dl usually gets contracted to *l in South Slavic. If right, (per Berneker) perhaps akin to dial. Lithuanian délka f, délkas m (“fishing tool”) from délti (“to use up”).

Further origin possibly from Proto-Indo-European *delh₁- (“to split, to cleave”) + *-ka.

1. fur, pelt (Eastern South Slavic)

   Synonyms: *kozina, *sьrstь, *guna

2. hair (Western South Slavic)

   Synonym: *kosa
