- *ɸalamom[1]
Etymology[edit]
According to Schrijver, this noun comes from *pelh₂- (“to drive”), which would give Proto-Celtic *ɸalamom.[1] Matasović agrees that it is possible to derive this substantive from that root; yet, he preffers to derive this noun from Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- (“to surround”), upon which he connects it to Hittite 𒄩𒀀𒇷 (ḫāli, “pen, corral (for cows and horses)”).[1] However, Kloekhorst dismisses the derivation of Hittite 𒄩𒀀𒇷 (ḫāli) from Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- (“to surround”).[2]
