Proto-Basque

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Probably from Latin anguīlla (eel). This etymology, while being the most plausible, is problematic since the Latin term should have been borrowed into Proto-Basque as *angiLa, which would have yielded something akin to *aingila.

Noun

[edit]

*angila

  1. eel
