Etymology
From a pre-Germanic ablauting paradigm *swol- ~ *sul-, with full-grade *swalī found in Old High German swelli, swella (modern German Schwelle (“threshold; railroad tie”)), Old West Norse svalar, Old Swedish svali (modern dialectal Swedish svale, svala (“porch, canopy”)). Further uncertain:
- Traditionally, from Proto-Indo-European *swel-, *sel- (“piece of wood; beam, post, balk, board, threshold, sill”). Cognate with Lithuanian šelmuõ (“apex, roof, ridge”), Latin silva (“wood, forest”), Latin solum (“ground, floor, sole, bottom”).
- In view of the phonetic and paradigmatic irregularities, as well as the semantic category, likely of substrate origin along with *sauliz, *sūliz (“beam; post, pillar”), *siuwilō and Swedish syll (“railroad tie”).
