Proto-Slavic edit
Etymology edit
Iterative stem of *polti (“to set on fire”) + *-iti (whence dialectal Slovene pláti). Related to Lithuanian pelenaĩ (“ashes”), plė́nis (“speck, fine ashes”), Latvian plẽne (“white ashes on coals”), Old Prussian pelanne (“ashes”).
Further origin uncertain:
- Per Rix (LIV), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *pōl-eye-, a causative/iterative from the root *pel- (“to propel, to evolve, to fold”).
- Per Derksen from the root *pelh₁-, probably meaning “to stroke, to pound”, with a laryngeal due to the evidence of a Balto-Slavic acute. Cognate with Ancient Greek πάλλω (pállō, “to sway”), possibly Proto-West Germanic *fōlijan (“to feel”). Compare *pèlti.
