Proto-Germanic

Etymology

From pre-Germanic *pl̥Hon-, from Proto-Indo-European *pelH- (“young animal”), which Kroonen speculates may be a deverbal from the root *pelh₂- (“to push”) (as seen in Albanian pjell (“to give birth”)). Compare Ancient Greek πῶλος (pôlos, “foal”), Welsh ebawl (“foal”), and perhaps Albanian pelë (“mare”).^[1]
