кьрькꙑ

Old Novgorodian

Etymology

First attested in the 13th century as крькъвь (krĭkŭvĭ, acc. sg.), the second time in the 15th century as крькви (krĭkvi, voc. sg.).^[1] Inherited from Proto-Slavic *cьrky (from an earlier pre-palatalized form *kьrky). The most important feature of Old Novgorodian and Old Pskovian is the absence of the second palatalization of the velar *k, *g, *x in the position before *ě and *i, which were only softened to [kʲ], [ɡʲ], [xʲ].^[2] Also typical secondary pleophony *TьrT > TьrьT.^[3] Displaced by цьркꙑ (cʹĭrky), from Old East Slavic.
