Norwegian Nynorsk edit

Verb edit

tol

  1. imperative of tola

Old English edit

Etymology edit

Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *tōlą, from Proto-Indo-European *dewh₂- (to tie to; secure). Possibly inherited through Proto-West Germanic, but since the term is not attested in any other West Germanic language, it may instead be borrowed from Old Norse tól.

Noun edit

tōl n

  1. tool, implement, instrument

Declension edit

Old High German edit

Etymology edit

From *dulaz, whence also Old English dol.

Adjective edit

tol

  1. foolish

Derived terms edit

Old Irish edit

Etymology edit

Unknown. MacBain associates it with Proto-Indo-European *telh₂- (to bear, endure), but the semantic connection is tenuous.

The form toil was originally the accusative singular, while the form tuil was the dative singular. But both forms were already confused in the Glosses.

Pronunciation edit
