Also Proto-Slavic *jugъ ‘South’ and some reflexes Bulgarian йук ‘southern warm wind’, Makedonian jyг ‘south, southern wind’, ‘thaw’, Serbo-Croatian jyг ‘southern wind’, Polish dialectal jug ‘thaw, melting of snow’. Russian ужин ‘(late) dinner; supper’ (originally ‘midday repast’) makes possible to reconstruct for *jugъ the meaning ‘midday’, compare Latin meridies < medidies ‘mid-day, noon; South’, Ancient Greek μεσημβρία ‘midday; South’. Thus, a connection is found between the names of the warmest time of the day and the warmest season. ESSLa 15,11
