nounfeminineōn-stema plaiting-covered vesselbottle, flaskPossibly from earlier *flahtskō, from Proto-Indo-European *pleḱt-sk-eh2 from root *pleḱ- (‘to fold, plait, weave’) with the semantics of a plaited container for liquid Blažek 2014, but this requires consonant cluster simplification. Pisani 1976 has a similar idea with root *pleh₁- (‘to fill’), from PIE *plh₁-sk-eh₂ > pre-Germanic *pləskā. While the semantics of this are much better (‘a thing that is filled’), the phonology is less certain. Vennemann 1984 includes this among words of early Proto-Germanic vocabulary suspected of non-Indo-European/substrate origin.
