tálma

See also: talma

Icelandic

Etymology

From Old Norse talma, from Proto-Germanic [Term?]; cognate with Dutch talmen (to delay, tarry) and Middle English talmen of the same meaning. Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *del(h₁)- (to last, be long) and thereby distantly related to langur.[1]
