Proto-Brythonic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Of unclear origin. Jones tentatively connects the term to Sanskrit जल (jala, “water”), itself perhaps related to गलति (galati, “to drip”) and German quellen (“to well up”).[1] This is semantically appealing; however, Proto-Brythonic *g should yield a *ǵʰ in Proto-Indo-European, while the suggested cognates yield a *gʷ.
Noun[edit]
*glaw m
