uodas

== Lithuanian == === Etymology === Cognate with Latvian ods, from Proto-Baltic *uodas. Further etymology uncertain, but it may be linked with either Proto-Indo-European *h₃ed- (“to bite”) or an o-grade of *h₁ed- (“to eat”). Alternatively, may be cognate with Slavic words for “gadfly” (Czech ovád, Polish owad, Serbo-Croatian ȍbād / о̏ба̄д, Slovene obàd), but these may be from a Slavic formation *ob-vadъ rather than older Balto-Slavic. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈûə̯.d̪ɐs̪] === Noun === úodas m stress pattern 3 mosquito ==== Inflection ==== === References ===
