Summary/Abstract: The paper resumes the paper dedicate to Slavic sъto (Paliga 1988), bringing forth various arguments against the label of Marko Snoj that explaining sъto as a loanword from a north Thracian dialect is ‘najmanj utemeljeno’ (least founded). New data may now prove, without little doubt, that the only satem idiom, which may be the source of borrowing, is a north Thracian dialect. Some other forms in the semantic sphere ‘fire’ and ‘to burn, to heat’ support the initial analysis and show that we have, in fact, two series of phonetic evolutions from PIE to Slavic and Thracian in a larger Indo-European context.
