University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 Germanic Evidence for a Neglected Indo-European Root [Elektronische Daten] [Albert L. Lloyd] An IE root *bhel()- ‘strike, hit, hew, chop', although not included in the standard IE etymological dictionaries, is shown to underly a number of etymologically obscure Germanic words, such as OHG bolz(o) ‘bolt', Go. bliggwan ‘to beat', OIcel. bella ‘to hit', blak ‘slap, blow', OHG blast ‘a throwing to the ground', OHG bloh, bloc ‘block of wood', and possibly OHG balko ‘beam'. Since related words can be found in Italic, Celtic, Baltic, and perhaps also Slavic and Greek, there would seem to be sufficient justification for the addition of this root to the inventory of recognized IE roots.
