Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Per LIV, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *klā́ˀtei + *-sti (dʰé-conjugation), perhaps back-formed from the proto dʰi-imperative, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kleh₂-. Cognate with ye-presents Lithuanian klóti (“to spread”), Latvian klât (“to cover, spread”). Compare also Lithuanian klõdas (“layer, stratum”).

Dialectal Bulgarian also exhibits reflexes of athematic conjugation клам pf (klam, “to lay down”), of unclear diachronic origin (could be a contraction of кла́вам (klávam)).

Verb

*klàsti impf

1. to put, to lay, to set down

   Synonyms: *postaviti, *polagati

2. to stack, to pile, to deposit

   Synonyms: (native) *kupiti, *vъložiti

3. (reflexive) (+ *sę) to provide for, to feed (oneself)
