1. nominative plural masculine form of mirts

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *mer-, *mir-; compare Latvian mirt ‎(“die”), Old Church Slavonic мрѣти, мьрѫ ‎(mrěti, mĭrǫ, “die”), Russian умереть, умру ‎(umeretʹ, umru, “die”). The Baltic forms are from the zero-grade of Proto-Indo-European *mer-, *mr̥- ‎(“to die”).

The -sta present was introduced at the Balto-Slavic stage (compare Latvian mirsta); the -š- is due to the RUKI law. The acute past/present root is analogous with gim̃ti, gìmsta, gìmė, although is of unclear motivation.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ˈmʲɪrʲ.tʲɪ]
