Russian or Polish first?[edit]
Did this term originate in the Russian or Polish language first? 173.89.236.187 21:28, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
- It is a common word in Slavic languages. According to Vasmer (a reputable etymological dictionary for Slavic languages) it is from a proto-Slavic word that is possibly an onomatopoeia word in origin. --KoreanQuoter (talk) 14:06, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
- Old Polish skrzypica is known since the 15th century. So maybe it gives Russian скрипица (skripica) [since the 17th c., now obsolete], Ukrainian скрипи́ця (skrypýcja). The form скри́пка (skrípka) (also, Belarusian скры́пка (skrýpka) and Ukrainian скрипка (skrypka)) seemed to be an East Slavic derivative, possibly from скрипица (skripica). We don't know it exactly.--Cinemantique (talk) 13:21, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
Thank you, you say скрипица was from Russian, or Old Russian? Or just a Russian spelling that is now obsolete? 173.89.236.187 16:30, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
When was the Ukrainian term скрипи́ця used, and isn't that a place name? 173.89.236.187 16:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
- скрипица is a Russian spelling that is antiquated, colloquial, and regional. Скрипиця is also a Ukrainian village, in existance since 1796. —Stephen (Talk) 23:43, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
