Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Probably borrowed from Proto-West Germanic *fį̄hlu or later Old Saxon fīla,[1] from Proto-Germanic *finhlō.

Possibly related in some manner to Lithuanian peĩlis (knife), pielà (file), Old Prussian peile (razor):

  • Būga, Endzelīns: Baltic terms borrowed from Slavic or both directly from Germanic.
  • Fraenkel: Baltic and Slavic terms - cognates of Balto-Slavic origin, possibly akin to Latin pīlum (javeline) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pey(s)-). At a later stage, semantically influenced by the Germanic terms.

Noun

[edit]

*pĩlà or *pilà f[1][2][3]
