εὐλή
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editAccording to Frisk, it is an old verbal noun from εἰλέω (eiléō, “to turn, roll”), which is from Proto-Indo-European *welH- (“to turn, wind”), properly meaning "that which winds or coils". However, a prothetic vowel *ἐ-ϝλ-ή is impossible, unless *h₁uel- is assumed; however, this would give ὑλ-. In view of all these considerations, Beekes prefers a Pre-Greek origin for this word.
