  • Derksen, Rick: 494
    Cf. s.v. Lith. vė́daras 'sausage, (coll.) belly, intestines', from PIE *ud-ero-m (cf. Skt. udára- 'belly, womb', Gk. ὕδερος 'dropsy', Lat. uterus 'belly, womb'). Other cognates in Baltic include Latv. vȩ̂dȩrs 'belly', OPruss. weders 'belly'.
  • Hock, Wolfgang and Fecht, Rainer and Feulner, Anna Helene and Hill, Eugen and Wodtko, Dagmar S.: 1204
    Cf. s.v. OLith. vė́daras 'gefüllter Schafsmagen, Wurst' (BSl. cf. Latv. vȩ̂dȩ̀rs, vȩ̂dàrs 'Bauch', OPr. weders 'Bauch', etc.), connected with Ved. udára- 'Bauch; Mutterleib', YAv. udarō.θrąsa- 'auf dem Bauch kriechend' (epithet of snakes). The Proto-Baltic form probably goes back to a Vr̥ddhi formation (cf. entry in ALEW for extensive discussion of the stem-formation in Baltic).
  • Mayrhofer, Manfred: I:216
    S.v. Ved. udára- 'Bauch'. The precise reconstruction is difficult to ascertain, but the word should not be split from OPruss. weders 'belly, stomach', Lith. vė́deras 'guts, belly, abdomen', Lat. uterus 'abdomen, belly, uterus'.
  • de Vaan, Michiel: 647, 662
    S.v. Lat. venter, -tris 'belly, abdomen'. Latin uenter is generally agreed to be from PIE *(H)ued-ro- 'belonging to the belly' however the exact origins of the word-internal nasal is unclear. Cf. also s.v. uterus 'womb, belly' < *(H)ud-ér-o- for the sound change of medial *-d- > -t- in this word.
