pyll

Albanian

Etymology

Possibly a prefixed formation of an earlier *hyll, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Albanian *skūla, close to Ancient Greek (Attic) ὕλη (húlē, “forest, grove”) and Thracian sula (“grove”) (cf. shul). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?) Alternatively from an earlier *pëýll, *pëdyll, from Latin palūs. Compare Romanian pădure with the same sense development.
