Proto-Celtic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain; possibly cognate Czech mlsati (“to lick”), Russian молса́ть (molsátʹ, “to suck”), Polish pomłoski (“tidbit”), presuming a Proto-Indo-European *mels- root,[1] however, the expected outcome of *ml̥s-tó-s would be *malstos, requiring liquid metathesis, or, perhaps, a special rule, to arrive at *mlastos.[2][3][4]
Noun
