𐌿𐍃𐍅𐌰𐌻𐌿𐌲𐌾𐌰𐌽

Gothic

Etymology

From 𐌿𐍃- (us-) +‎ *𐍅𐌰𐌻𐌿𐌲𐌾𐌰𐌽 (*walugjan). The word is generally derived from Proto-Indo-European *welH-, possibly *welw-; compare *𐍅𐌰𐌻𐍅𐌾𐌰𐌽 (*walwjan), Latin volvō. The precise route of derivation from this root is not quite certain. Possible derivations for *𐍅𐌰𐌻𐌿𐌲𐌾𐌰𐌽 (*walugjan) include:

• From (or closely related to) Proto-Germanic *walgōną; the -u- would then be a svarabhakti vocal (compare 𐌼𐌹𐌻𐌿𐌺𐍃 (miluks)).
• From an adjective *𐍅𐌰𐌻𐌿𐌲𐍃 (*walugs) +‎ -𐌾𐌰𐌽 (-jan) (containing the suffix -𐌿𐌲𐍃 (-ugs)), perhaps meaning "wandering" or "moving/rolling about"; compare 𐌲𐌰𐌱𐌹𐌲𐍃 (gabigs, “rich”), which yields 𐌲𐌰𐌱𐌹𐌲𐌾𐌰𐌽 (gabigjan, “to enrich”) and contains the same suffix.
