Etymology

Noun

ól m

baby (a little child)
(obsolete) beer

Old Irish

Etymology

From older óol. Most likely from Proto-Indo-European *peh₃(y)-, although the exact derivation is uncertain, as the vowel ó and the hiatus are hard to explain. Usually derived via Proto-Celtic *ɸotlom or *ɸōtlom from Proto-Indo-European *péh₃tlom (whence also Latin pōculum (“drinking cup”) and Sanskrit पात्र (pātra, “drinking vessel”)) from *peh₃(y)-.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Gordon prefers a derivation via Proto-Celtic *ɸoyalom from Proto-Indo-European *poyh₃-lo-m. He considers the required metathesis *h₃y* > *yh₃ unmotivated, but it is assumed by other Indo-European derivatives, e.g. Ancient Greek πῑ́νω (pī́nō, “to drink”) and Proto-Slavic *pìti (“to drink”).^[5]
