Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *aln-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁olHnih₂.
Baltic cognates include Lithuanian élnis (“deer”), álnis (“deer”), élnias (“deer”), élnė (“doe”), álnė (“doe”), Latvian alnis (“elk”) and Old Prussian alne (“deer?”).
Indo-European cognates include Ancient Greek ἑλλός (hellós, “deer-calf”), ἔλαφος (élaphos, “deer”), Old Armenian եղն (ełn) and Middle Irish ailit (“doe, hind”).
From the e-grade of the same Indo-European root also *elenь (“deer”), and from a different extension also *olsь (“elk”).
