Proto-Slavic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *edlis, considered by Pokorny to be from Proto-Indo-European *h₁edʰ- (sharp, pointy);[1] however, this is rejected by Genaust.[2] It could instead be a borrowing from a European substrate.[3]

Baltic cognates include Lithuanian ẽglė, Latvian egle, Old Prussian addle.

Noun[edit]

*ȅdlь f[4]

  1. spruce, fir
