Proto-Germanic

Etymology

According to a recent theory, explained as from Pre-Germanic *h₂ph₃elh₁né- or *h₂ph₃olh₁né-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂peh₃lH-, a proposed compound of *h₂epo (“off, away”) + *h₃elh₁- (“to fall”),[1] which would allow connection with Latin aboleō (“to destroy”) (although this is not entirely certain), Ancient Greek ἀπόλλῡμι (apóllūmi, “to destroy, kill”), Lithuanian pùlti (“to fall”), and perhaps Old Armenian փլանիմ (pʻlanim, “to fall”).[2][1] Compare also Lithuanian pùlti (“to fall; fall to; attack”).
