Proto-Germanic
Etymology
- If the sense “to go, enter” is original, related to *fulgāną (“to follow”), for which Kroonen reconstructs a Germanic-only root *pelk- (cf. Kroonen (2013), p. 159, s.v. *fulgēn-).
- If “to conceal” is original, related to Old Prussian pelkis (“cloak”), from an extension *pel-k- of Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to cover, wrap; skin, cloth”).
