Summary/Abstract: The author deals with the semantic shift ,quick’ > ,clear, clean’, attested in Common Slavic *bystru‘ (in the paper, Slovak evidence for this shift is brought). The semantic-etymological analysis of some Slovak and Serbo-Croatian dialect words makes it possible to postulate an identical semantic change for Common Slavic *bu‘rzu‘ as well.
