Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *ajas, from Proto-Indo-European *Hóyh₁os (pole, tiller) (given as *h₂éyh₁os[1] by Snoj), perhaps ultimately from *h₂ey- (to push, to force) or *h₃ey- (to steer) (classical reconstructions just give *ei-/*oi- “post, bar”). Cognate with Proto-Finnic *aisa (pole) (of Indo-European origin, possibly Balto-Slavic), Ancient Greek οἰήϊον (oiḗïon, handle of rudder), Hittite 𒄭𒅖𒊭𒀭 (ḫišša-, carriage pole), Sanskrit ईषा (īṣā, plank, pole), Avestan 𐬀𐬉𐬱𐬀 (aēša, plough). Further akin via other suffixes to Lithuanian íena (thill), Proto-Germanic *airō (oar), Ancient Greek οἴᾱξ (oíāx, helm).
