Does this date back to Proto-Germanic (and thus pagan) times?

[edit]

I have a feeling that this entry might not be valid, and that the Old Norse helvíti is indeed a calque, that this word was made after Proto-Germanic dispersed, and that it's merely a Christian invention. But I could be wrong. Could we verify this as a valid entry? Haimariks (talk) 04:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
