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) and Ancient Greek ἀπόλλῡμι (apóllūmi, “to destroy, kill”).[2][1] Compare also Lithuanian pùlti (“to fall; fall to; attack”).
