çekim: karşılaştırma (по)клёвее · üstünlük са́мый клёвый
köken: First recorded in 1820 by A. A. Uspensky in the Fenya argot of Vladimir with the meaning 'noble' (provided клювый (kljuvyj) in the "Suzdal dialect" by Pallas in 1787 is a misprint or typo instead of *кліовый). From the second half of the 19th century, it also appears in thieves' argot. According to Preobrazhensky's suggestion, supported by Vasmer, it comes from the verb клевать (klevatʹ) (further…

zıt: γλυφός, αλμυρός
köken: Inherited from the medieval γλυκός (glukós), from Ancient Greek γλυκύς (glukús, “sweet”) with metaplasm of ending as in adjectives in -ός (-ós). Compare to the formal modern usage of γλυκύς (glykýs).
köken: From Early Middle Japanese adjective 甘(あま)し (amashi), with the 終(しゅう)止(し)形(けい) (shūshikei, “predicative form”) ending in し (shi) first replaced with the 連(れん)体(たい)形(けい) (rentaikei, “attributive form”) ending in き (ki), and then with the medial /-k-/ falling out to result in an ending of い (i). First attested in the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE. From Proto-Japonic *ama.

köken: From Old Norse sœtr, from Proto-Germanic *swōtuz, cognate with Swedish söt, English sweet, German süß, Dutch zoet. The word goes back to Proto-Indo-European *sweh₂dus, which is also the source of Latin suāvis, Ancient Greek ἡδύς (hēdús), Sanskrit स्वादुः (svādúḥ).

çekim: karşılaştırma saldāks · üstünlük vissaldākais
köken: Derived from a former verb *salt (“to be(come) sweet”) (compare Lithuanian sálti), which disappeared, possibly because of homophony with salt (“to be(come) cold”).

The meaning change of the verb salt was probably from “(being) salty, salted” to “having pleasant flavor, tasty” and then to “(being)…
