Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *edlis, considered by Pokorny to be from Proto-Indo-European *h₁edʰ- (sharp, pointy);[1] however, this is rejected by Genaust.[2] It could instead be a borrowing from a European substrate.[3] Cognate with Lithuanian ẽglė, Old Prussian addle, Proto-Slavic *edlь.
