*flōkaną

Runic: ᚠᛚᛟᚲᚨᚾᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈɸlɔː.kɑ.nɑ̃/

verb · Strong class 7e

Meanings

to beat, strike
to lament

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *pleh₂g-, *pleh₂k- (‘to beat, strike’). Kroonen suggests there is no need to reconstruct *ploh₂g-, in which case the 'k' was restored to *flōk- by analogy with the iterative derived from it. Cognate with Ancient Greek πλάζω (plázō) (plázō), πλήσσω (plḗssō), Latin plango, Old Church Slavonic плакати (plakati) (plakati).
