[ˈʃʲɪɫɐs̪]
KilmėRelated to Latvian sils, with no certain cognates outside of Baltic. Smoczyński proposes a morphological analysis of the word as *ši̇̀-las, a zero-grade formation from the verb šiẽti (“to drive (a splinter, etc.)”), perhaps due to trees in a forest being "driven into" the soil they grow in.
- coniferous forest on sandy soils; pine barrens
- heather (Calluna vulgaris)
