[edit] Etymology

Influenced by anguis (“‘snake’”), in the same way Ancient Greek ἔγχελυς (enkhelūs), “‘eel’”) was influenced by ἔχις (ekhis), “‘snake’”), but unfortunately no Proto-Indo-European form can be reconstructed due to similar changes in other daughter languages, commonly attributed to a taboo. Cognate with Old Prussian angurgis and Albanian ngjalë. Compare Finnish borrowing ankerias.
