Talk:sallow

Etymology

This is the most reliable in-depth origin for SALLOW 1. The Gaelic word = SALACH = Irish[8]. While it does not mean to say that the origin is Celtic[4], there is no evidence for any connection with Old High German SALO[2] (tawny or dusky).

[0] means 'Absolutely not; [1] means 'Exceedingly unlikely'; [2] means 'Very dubious'; [3] means 'Questionable'; [4] means 'Possible'; [5] means 'Probable'; [6] means 'Likely'; [7] means 'Most Likely' or *Unattested; [8] means 'Attested'; [9] means 'Obvious' - only used for close matches within the same language or dialect, at linkable periods.

Well, this would work for phrases like "sallow sky", but then we have another sense "(of objects or dim light) Having a pale, yellowish colour", so perhaps these senses are driving at the same thing. Equinox ◑ 20:28, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
