nounneutera-stemzeal, eagernessstrength, courageOf uncertain origin. Kroonen analyzes the noun as a neuter formation in *-ana- and compares Hittite 𒄩 𒆷 𒀀 𒄿 / 𒄩 𒇷 < Proto-Indo-European *h₂l-oi-/*h₂l-i- Kloekhorst 2008: 271Kroonen 2013: 23. His further comparison with Ancient Greek ἰάλλω is doubtful, since Beekes 2010: 572 instead derives the Greek verb from PIE *sel-. An older comparison with Latin alacer is also uncertain, but de Vaan 2008: 32 concedes that the noun could be from the root underlying Latin ambulāre < PIE *h₂elh₂-, thereby possibly connecting it with the Hittite word.
