    Material: 1. Gk. δέλλιθες “Wespen”, Hes.; βελόνη f. “cusp, peak, needle”, ὀξυβελής ὀιστός Hom.; but βέλος n. “Geschoß” probably rather to βάλλω, s. about den sekundären Zusammenschluß with latter family under 2. gʷel- “herabträufeln; throw”; uber ὀβελός, ὀβολός, ark. Dor. ὀδελός “cusp, peak, Bratspieß, Mũnze” s. Schwyzer Gk.

(*želja) zija “famine, mourning, dressed in black” [common Alb. gʷ- > z- phonetic mutation] the pure physical meaning “ pricking, pointed “ presumably also in Arm. ciuɫ “twig, branch, finger” (from e before ɫ), in Alb. glisht “finger” (Pedersen KZ. 39, 393, Jokl IF. 36, 125, whereupon at first from *glen-st-; Brugmann IF. 11, 286 Anm. had compared βλῑμάζω “ touch, feel, grope “), Alb.

    Note: Alb. shows that Root gʷis-ti-s : “finger” derived from Root gʷel-1 : “to stick; pain, death” but M.Eng. quille, Eng. quill “Federkiel, Weberspule, Speiler an a barrel, vat, cask, sting, prick an Igels”, M.H.G. kil, Ger. Federkiel (warum w geschwunden?), Westfäl. kwiǝle deriving because of mrhein. Keil “keel, wedge “ (M.H.G. *kīl) probably eineri-root, whether not folk etymology Entstellungen through influence of M.H.G. M.L.G. kīl “wedge” and M.H.G. kiel ‘ship” vorliegen. 2. With the meaning “pain - Pein - death”: Arm. keɫem “peinige” (Meillet Msl. 8, 165); O.Ir. at-baill ‘stirbt” (ess + baln- from *gʷl̥̄-n- with prefixedem Objektspronomen “es”; nevertheless barely after Pedersen KG. II 459 as “es, namely das Leben, fortwerfen” to ἐκ- βάλλω, da die Bedeut. “die” also out of Celt. wiederkehrt; compare also Corn. bal “pestis”, Welsh aballu (*ad-ballu), ballu “die” (*gʷl̥̄-n-), ad-feilio (*ate-bal- from *gʷel-) ds.; perhaps Lat. vallessit “perierit” (setzte, as das Celt. verb, a present *gʷal-nō ahead; different EM2 1129); O.H.G.
