Noun edit
*abūl n
Reconstruction notes edit
Originally *abūl should have inflected as a masculine amphikinetic l-stem, as in Proto-Indo-European. The weak stem *abal- could be generalised from the original dative plural *abl̥bom. Or, if *abūl was a collective, from a coexisting proterokinetic singular *abl̥, *abelos, from which the neuter gender would also be derived.[2][3]
