Pomorian

Alternative forms

ugni - in Western and most Central dialects

Etymology

From Old Pomorian ugnis/ungnis, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *ugnis (earlier *ungnis, which blocked Winter's law in the word, but later the first -n- has been lost due to dissimilation). Compare to Lithuanian ugnis, Latvian uguns (from earlier *ugunis) Proto-Slavic *ognjь, Sudovian wungnis (“blacksmith's fire”). From Proto-Indo-European *h₁n̥gʷnis, compare to Latin ignis, Sanskrit अग्नि (agní).

A form with Winter's law applied is also present in Pomorian (ūgne, which means hearth, fireplace) and Proto-Slavic (*vygъnjь - forge, hearth). This means that -n- drop happened very early in Proto-Balto-Slavic and was restored in some dialects of Old Pomorian afterwards.
