Proto-Celtic
Etymology
Unknown. The related term *gʷeltā (“grass, pasture”) having gw- reflexes in Brythonic necessitate reconstructing a labiovelar, which means that their root must have originally contained *gʷʰ-. However, no such root *gʷʰel- with a relevant meaning is known for Proto-Indo-European. Pokorny compares Proto-Indo-European *h₂welh₁- (“wool”), see also *woltos (“hair (of the head)”), Proto-Slavic *volsъ (“hair”).
