Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/glasą
Proto-Germanic
editEtymology
editTraditionally derived by Pokorny from an s-extension of Proto-Indo-European *gʰel-, *ǵʰel- (“to shine, shimmer, glow”).[1] Kroonen prefers to derive the term from an s-stem of *glōaną (“to glow”), which is likely ultimately from the same root.[2]
