That Gk. φλῑά: “ door pillar, door post “ eig. “(* tumid =) thick balk, beam” is required only of foreign confirmation (Prellwitz2 and Boisacq s. v.; basic form *bhlī-u̯ü or -sü); τὰ φλιμέλια “haematoma, effusion of blood” is corrupted from Lat. flēmina “a bloody swelling or congestion of blood about the ankles”. bhleis-: O.Ice. blīstra “blow, whistle”?
