Etymology
[edit]Cognate with Latvian plaûki (“fibres, flakes, dust (Livonian) hair”), possibly Sudovian laugi (“hair”); further origin beyond Baltic unclear.[1] Formally, the Baltic terms appear to be related to plaũkti (“to swim, float”), with hair being interpreted as "flowing" from a person's head. However, in addition to the semantics being tenuous, the accents of pláukas and plaũkti do not match.[2]
