Reconstruction:Proto-Italic/gʷelāō
Proto-Italic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *gʷelh₁éh₂yeti, *gʷelH- (“throw”). De Vaan explains the semantic shift by taking the original meaning of *gʷelH- as "to raise the arm", which then shifted to "to fly".[1]
Verb
*gʷelāō first-singular present indicative
- to fly
