sa|tem language
sa|tem language «SAH tehm, SAY-»,
one of the languages of the eastern division of the Indo-European languages, including Indo-Iranian, Armenian, Balto-Slavic, and Albanian. The satem languages are characterized by their use of sibilant sounds instead of the velar sounds found in corresponding words of the centum languages.
[< Avestan sat hundred (because the initial letter of this word in satem languages represents the sound of c in cent, as distinguished from centum languages, in which the initial letter represents the sound of c in cat)]
