Reconstruction:Proto-Norse/ᚹᚢᛚᚠᚨᛉ
Proto-Norse
Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *wulfaz, from Pre-Germanic *wúlkʷos, from Proto-Indo-European *wĺ̥kʷos. The *f is unexplained; the expected form would be *wulhwaz.
Usage notes
- The reconstruction *wulfaʀ is in classic 3rd–5th century Proto-Norse. However, all attestations of this word are in proper names on the late 6th–early 7th century Blekinge stones and thus show a later linguistic and orthographic stage.
