bholo-

    bholo-

    English meaning: smoke, steam?

    Deutsche Übersetzung: etwa “Dunst, Dampf, warm aufsteigender Geruch”??

    Material: it is associated perhaps O.Ir. bolad, Ir. boladh and baladh ‘smell, odor” and Ltv. buls, bula “ misty muggy air, height smoke, dryness “; it could form the basis IE bhol- (Irish): bhel- (Ltv.); perhaps is with above etymology also Peterssons Etym. Miszellen 34 connection of buls with combinable Arm. bal “ fog, mist, darkness “ (if originally “haze, mist”)?
