On the semantic shift 'blow' – 'needless or frivolous talk'
Nejedlý, Petr ; Vajdlová, Miloslava
There is a marginal part of (Old) Czech lexis, the root *klas- family (cf. klás /n/ 'ludibrium; iocus'), so far unrecorded in Czech etymological lexicons. The article considers various Slavic as well as non-Slavic possibilities of the family’s origin and outlines formal and content contexts of this onomatopoeically motivated family on the background of some Old Church Slavic lexical units and on the basis of the principle of elementary relationship.
