Etymology 3

[edit]

Possibly a dialectal variant of synonymous пле́щя (pléštja) (from пля́скам (pljáskam, to clap)) or from a fussion of бле́я (bléja, to bleat) + врещя́ (vreštjá, to groan, to whine). Sometimes also compared with the outcome of Proto-Slavic *blęsti (to blend words, to err), despite objectively incompatible with it.
