Why a star next to 'voda'? In Slovene it is a regular noun.

He put a star next to it presumambly because he means that the
Proto-Slavonic form is *voda. Proto-Slavonic is not directly attested,
it can only be reconstructed by applying the comparative method to the
earliest attested languages of each branch of the Slavonic languages.
