Runic: ᚠᚨᛚᚢᛞᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈɸɑ.lu.ðɑz/

noun · masculine · a-stem

Meanings

a hurdle; fence
an enclosed space, enclosure

Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly related to *falǭ (‘a plain’), from Proto-Indo-European *polh2- via schwebeablaut of root *pleh2- (‘flat’). The *-ud-suffix is reminiscent of similar suffixes for ‘structure’ (cf. Proto-West Germanic *rakud, ‘structure, building; dwelling, house’) and collectivity (cf. *werudą, ‘band of men’).
