Word: нестера
Near etymology: "племянница", только русск.-цслав., др.-русск. нестера -- то же (Устюжск. Кормч.; см. Срезн. II, 426), сербохорв. нѐстера "племянница, дочь сестры", др.-польск. nieściora "племянница" (Брюкнер 427; AfslPh 11, 137).
Further etymology: Восходит к *nept-tera от и.-е. *neptī(s), ср. др.-лит. neptė̃ (Буга, РФВ 65, 329), лат. neptis "внучка", позднелат. "племянница" (Вальде--Гофм. 2, 161 и сл.), др.-инд. naptī́ṣ "внучка", авест. nарtī- -- то же, др.-ирл. nесht "внучка", д.-в.-н. nift "neptis, privigna", ср. образование лат. matertera "тетка, сестра матери" (Мейе, Ét. 167; Траутман, ВSW 196). Другие предполагают преобразование из праслав. *neti по аналогии mati, род. п. matere в парадигму род. п. *netere и т. д. и объясняют s влиянием сестра́; см. И. Шмидт, Pluralb. 63; Френкель, ZfslPh 20, 62 и сл.; Шрадер, IF 17, 19.
