[edit]

I am sorry, but how can it be a borrowing from Russia, when it is attested in Old Bulgarian??? It was the Russians who borrowed Old Bulgarian in the 10th-11th century, not the other way around. Sources:

1) Old Bulgarian Dictionary by the Sofia University, listing любовъ, любъвь and любы as alternative forms (https://histdict.uni-sofia.bg/oldbgdict/oldbg_search/15)

2) Part 2. Vocabulary by the St. Naum Centre of the Faculty of Slavic Philology, Sofia University, which lists възлюбление, любление, любовь, любы, любъве and любьство, or a total of six words as "love" (https://naum.slav.uni-sofia.bg/sites/default/files/liliseries/chitanka_b.pdf) 46.10.148.84 21:24, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

@46.10.148.84: If you look at the history, it was changed in not so old edits by @Prahlad balaji. They also give an explanation but I am not sure if it's valid. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:09, 26 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
