Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/maltą
(Redirected from Appendix:Proto-Germanic/maltą)
Proto-Germanic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Uncertain, from *maltaz (“soft, gone bad”), or directly from *meltaną; ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *meld- (“to beat, crush, grind”), also the root of *mildijaz.[1] Not few voices (Uhlenbeck, Bernecker, Brückner, Kiparsky, Skok and others) deem the word instead regularly formed in Proto-Slavic *molto, which you may see, from *melti (“to grind”).
