nounneuterja-stemapplefruit resembling or otherwise classed with an appleFrom the Germanic ‘apple’ stem *apal- beside *apla- (cf. *aplaz) + *-(i)ją, forming a secondary North Germanic neuter ja-stem. The immediate reconstruction is uncertain: Mees 2022b: 10 gives *apaliją, while Kroonen 2013: 31–32 and Wodtko and colleagues 2008: 262 reconstruct *aplja- (cf. alternative *apliją); Cheung and Aydemir 2015: 84 explain the ja-stem as originating in a former collective plural. Ultimately from the Indo-European apple word *h₂ébōl/*h₂ébl̥, cognate with Old Irish ubull and Lithuanian obuolỹsWodtko et al. 2008: 262–66 (for a full treatment on the Celtic cognates, see Stifter 2019: 176).
