stumbras

== Lithuanian == === Etymology === Cognate with Latvian sum̃brs (“bison”), Old Prussian wissambs/wissambris, Proto-Slavic *zǫbrъ (“wisent”). The Prussian form may be contaminated by Germanic and/or Slavic. According to Derksen, a connection with Proto-Balto-Slavic *źámbas (“tooth”) is possible. The word could also be a migratory term, see Ossetian домбай (dombaj, “bison”) for more. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [²ˈstʊmˑbrɐs] Rhymes: -ʊmˑbrɐs Syllabification: stum̃‧bras === Noun === stum̃bras m (plural stum̃brai) stress pattern 2 bison, wisent; Bison bonasus ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “stumbras”, in Lietuvių kalbos žodynas [Dictionary of the Lithuanian language], lkz.lt, 1941–2026 “stumbras”, in Lietuvių kalbos etimologinio žodyno duomenų bazė [Lithuanian etymological dictionary database], 2007–2012 Derksen, Rick (2015), “stumbras”, in Etymological Dictionary of the Baltic Inherited Lexicon (Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series; 13), Leiden, Boston: Brill, →ISBN, pages 432–433
