| Description | This contribution summarizes all published etymological attempts to explain the Common Slavic word *ryba “fish”. A critical examination in the light of semantic parallels favors two proposed etymological solutions which confirm the comparison with West Germanic *rubo “caterpillar; burbot, eelpout”. |
