illr
Old Norse
Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *ilhilaz, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁elk-. The comparative and superlative degrees are taken from the Proto-Germanic adjective *ubilaz (whence English evil), but are themselves from yet another origin, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *wers-.
Inflection
This word seems to have a suppletive inflection, using another root in the comparative and superlative forms, than in the positive form.
