Proto-Germanic
Etymology
From Pre-Germanic *h₂elnós, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- (“all”).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈɑl.lɑz/
Inflection
In compound words, the stem *ala- was apparently used instead of the regular *alla-. This might be evidence of an older heteroclitic or perhaps n-stem paradigm, in which *aln- became *all-.
