Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Probably a borrowing from a reflex of Proto-Germanic *fulką. According to Pronk-Tiethoff, the Slavic form indicates that the donor language must have lacked a-mutation, leaving only the relatively dubious Lombardic *fulc (unmutated fulcfre is attested, but the apparent lack of a-mutation here is unexpected and has been attributed to external influences) and the perhaps more likely Gothic *𐍆𐌿𐌻𐌺 (*fulk) as possible candidates.

Noun
