verbWeak class 1to feel nauseated; to feel like vomitingUncertain. Probably from a Germanic word-family associated with filth, putrefaction, disgust, and nausea, formally a Weak class 1 *-(i)janą formation from a base **alg-. Compare Old Norse ýlda and Old High German oltar; possibly also Lithuanian elmės, almensde Vaan 2008: s.v. algaTorp 1909: 21, s.v. (alk) Kroonen 2013: 21). No secure Proto-Indo-European etymon can be reconstructed. Comparison with PIE *h₂el-, despite Ancient Greek ἀλθαίνω and Latin alvus, is formally and semantically weak; the alternative comparison with the uncertain PIE *h₂elǵʰ-/*h₂elgʰ- proposed for Latin algeō is likewise unsupported Rix et al. 2001: 263van Beek 2024: 230–33.
