Re: [tied] Re: Fire and the naughty little squirrel

The reason I ask is that there is also Polish szustac', perf. szusna,c' 'make a sudden leap or bolt', which could, in theory, reflect *k^euk^(t)-, but if no Slavic cognates show up, it's more likely German Schuss in disguise, like szus 'sudden movement'.

The only example of sus- in Russian, which comes to my mind, is 'suslo' - 'wort', 'must'. Does wort leap? :) I believe it can explode if carelessly closed too tight.
