*pakkô

Runic: ᛈᚨᚲᛟ Pronunciation: /ˈpɑk.kɔːː/

noun · masculine · an-stem

Meanings

bundle; pack; package

Etymology

Unknown. Likely from a pre-Germanic substrate language, due to phonetic irregularities between the root's relatives in other languages, as well as its restriction to western branches of Indo-European. Said relatives include Middle Welsh beich (‘load, cargo’) (from Proto-Celtic *baskis (‘bundle, load’)), Latin bāiulus (‘porter, carrier’), and perhaps fascis (‘bundle’), Ancient Greek φάκελος (phákelos) (phákelos, ‘bundle’).
