Proto-Slavic
*pogrebalьna(ja) Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) (sketch)

Alternative forms
  • *gomyla

Etymology

Probably from a substrate language, akin to Albanian gamulë, magulë and Romanian movilă, moghilă, măgură, măgulă, Aromanian mãgulã. Miklošič, Brückner (followed by Vasmer et al.) however do not exclude an autochthonous origin akin to Proto-Slavic *moťьje pl (“relics, holy remains”) (from an earlier *mogtьje).

Per St. Mladenov, if the regional metathesized forms reflecting *gomyla are primary, a descent from Proto-Indo-European *gem- (“to seize, to take hold, to squeeze”) could also be possible. The later forms may have been influenced by Proto-Slavic *gomola (“lump, clod”), though. Compare Lithuanian gãmalas, gãmulas m (“chunk”), gamulà f (“bulge”).

Noun

*mogỳla f[1][2]
