Notes
[edit]- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Palatovelar assumed based on purported connection to the Balto-Slavic words that are more accurately from *bʰelǵʰ- (see note 2).
- ^ Alternatively from *bʰelǵʰ- with devoicing due to Kluge's law followed by degemination (cf. Kroonen (2013)); this is preferred based on nouns in Balto-Slavic, listed at *bʰelǵʰ-, which have similar meanings but do not display the effects of Winter's law that would be expected from *bʰelǵ-.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Almost certainly of Pre-Greek origin rather than inherited (Beekes (2010)). Relation to the other words would require a widespread substrate family of words or a wanderwort; compare Sanskrit फलक (phálaka).
