pulti

pultī

1. dative/ablative singular of puls

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂peh₃lH-, a compound of *h₂epó (“off, away”) + *h₃elh₁- (“to fall”). Cognate with Latvian pult (“to fall (obsolete)”), Old Prussian aupallai (“finds”); outside of Baltic, compare Proto-Germanic *fallaną (“to fall”) (whence English fall), Ancient Greek ᾰ̓πόλλῡμῐ (ăpóllūmĭ, “to destroy, ruin”).^[1]
