Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Pokorny connects Old Norse fæla to Ancient Greek πάλλω (pállō) (see Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to beat, push, drive”), Rix reconstructs *pelh₁-[1]) and to Proto-Slavic *polšiti (“to scare”). He further suggests a link with Old Norse falma (“to grope, feel; to be astonished”) and Proto-West Germanic *fōlijan (“to feel”).[2]
Likely related to Gothic 𐌿𐍃𐍆𐌹𐌻𐌼𐌴𐌹 (usfilmei, “fright, horror”)[3] and Old Norse felmtr (“alarm, fear”) (both from *felmaz (“fright”)).[1][4][5]
De Vries notes the similarity of some Uralic forms, see Proto-Uralic *pele- (“to fear”).[6]
