Głaz? I can’t fucking believe it. Głaz means „boulder” in Polish… this Russian word is too far away from the rest of the Slavic family language’s root.
Necroposter in the thread. In Russian, we have “око” as an archaism, here is a saying “око за око” what’s literally means “eye for an eye”.
Just a different Slavic root.
From Old East Slavic глазъ (glazŭ, “ball, eye”), from Proto-Slavic *glazъ (“ball”), from Proto-Indo-European *g(ʰ)el- (“round, spherical, stone”).
Russian also has око and it is a well-known albeit not a commonly used word. We do prefer glaz.
