Proto-Finnic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Via earlier *pale from Proto-Uralic *pälä (“half”). The development is regular, according to Aikio (2012) and Zhivlov (2014); compare e.g. *loomi from Proto-Uralic *lämä, *talvi from Proto-Uralic *tälwä.
The word has also been compared to Slavic *polъ (“half”), presuming an irregular stem-type shift *pola > *pooli after loaning. According to Aikio (2013, 2016), previously proposed examples of this change in inherited vocabulary are to be explained otherwise, however (compare e.g. *kooldak).
