Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Unknown. Compare Ancient Greek αἶκλοι (aîkloi, “corners of an arrow”, pl.) and αἰχμή (aikhmḗ, “point of a spear, head of an arrow”).[1] Kroonen maintains a Proto-Indo-European root *h₂eyḱ- as the source, but this comes with phonetic problems. Perhaps a European substrate word in common with Old Prussian ayculo (“needle”) and Proto-Slavic *jьgъlà (“needle”).
