Proto-Germanic
Etymology
From earlier *wulgwī, from Proto-Indo-European *wl̥kʷíh₂s (“she-wolf”), though with the suffix replaced with the ablauting *-ih₂.[1] The delabialization is probably triggered by following *j[2],[3] though the expected interference of Siever's Law may complicate this explanation.[1] Compare Proto-West Germanic *wulbi.
