Proto-Germanic
Etymology
According to a recent theory, explained as from Pre-Germanic *h₂ph₃elh₁né- or *h₂ph₃olh₁né-, a proposed compound of *h₂epo (“off, away”) + *h₃elh₁- (“to fall”); which would allow connection with Latin aboleō (“to destroy”) and Ancient Greek ἀπόλλῡμι (apóllūmi, “to destroy, kill”).[1][2]. Compare also Lithuanian pùlti (“to fall; fall to; attack”).
Pronunciation
