Given the distribution of this word (South Slavic languages + limited use in Russian), it is very likely that *lętja is a cultural borrowing from Balkan Romance or another obsolete Paleo-Balkan language (which would explain the Lithuanian form as a borrowing too from the same southern source).<br /><br />Peter (from Bulgaria)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918951136804113054.post-76949287943350357932010-01-10T12:54:54.657+01:002010-01-10T12:54:54.657+01:00You have another example here:
