*plew-to fly, flow, run
verbStrong class 7eto flowPossibly from a pre-form *plōw-, the lengthened o-grade form of Proto-Indo-European *plew- (‘to flow, swim’) or perhaps *pleh₃(w)-. Alternatively, from *pleh₃-,Kroonen explains the alternation between -w- (in Anglo-Saxon) and -j- (in Low German) as a result of hiatus after the regular loss of *u after *ō.
