Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic *pīˀsdāˀ, from Proto-Indo-European *písdeh₂ (“vulva”), from *h₁epi (“upon, by”) + *sed- (“to sit”) + *-eh₂. Originally an euphemism meaning “what one sits on”. Compare *nisdós (“nest”) (see *gně̄zdò) < *h₁ni (“down”) + *sed- (“to sit”).
Cognate with Lithuanian pyzdà, Latvian pīzda (“vulva”), Old Prussian peisda (“ass”), Albanian pidh (“vagina; cunt”), Persian پیزی (pīzī, “ass, anus”).

* -asъ is the expected Balto-Slavic form but is found only in some Old Czech documents; -axъ is found everywhere else and is formed by analogy with other locative plurals in -xъ.
** The second form occurs in languages that contract early across /j/ (e.g. Czech), while the first form occurs in languages that do not (e.g. Russian).
