Proto-Slavic

Etymology

  • Iterative stem of *polti (“to set on fire”) +‎ *-iti (whence dialectal Slovene pláti). Related to Lithuanian pelenai̇̃ (“ashes”), plė́nis (“speck, fine ashes”), Latvian plẽne (“white ashes on coals”), Old Prussian pelanne (“ashes”).[1] Further origin uncertain:

    • Per Rix (LIV), perhaps from a Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to flare up”).
    • Per Derksen from the root *pelh₁-, probably meaning “to stroke, to pound”, with a laryngeal due to the evidence of a Balto-Slavic acute. Cognate with Ancient Greek πάλλω (pállō, “to sway”), possibly Proto-West Germanic *fōlijan (“to feel”). Compare *pèlti. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
