nounfeminineō-stemawl; a pointed tool used for piercing leather or similar materialsFrom the derivational stem of *alaz, with an instrument suffix *-asnō- Kroonen 2013: 19–20. The base *alaz is ultimately related to *ēlō and Sanskrit आरा, but its precise Proto-Indo-European formation is uncertain: Kroonen tentatively reconstructs *h₁oh₁-ló- and derives *ēlō and Sanskrit आराfrom *h₁éh₁l-éh₂-, while Mallory and Adams give the more general reconstruction *hₓólehₐ- (‘awl’, in standard laryngeal notation: *Hóleh₂-) Kroonen 2013: 19–20Mallory & Adams 1997: 37. The formative *-asnō- ultimately reflects PIE *-es-neh₂ ~ *-os-neh₂, with *-s- originating in an s-extended root or an s-stem; formations of this type mainly produced feminine concrete nouns in Germanic Krahe & Meid 1969: §96.
