*wolˀtis ear of grain λᾰ́σῐος hairy 𒌑𒂊𒂖𒇻𒍑 pasture, meadow váltis oat awn

noun masculine u-stem forest Possibly from a Proto-Indo-European *wel-, in which case it would be cognate with Hittite 𒌑𒂊𒂖𒇻𒍑 (wellu-š, ‘pasture, meadow’). Another possibility is from Proto-Indo-European *wólH-tu-s, from a root *welH- (‘hair, hairlike object’); compare Proto-Celtic *woltos (‘hair (of the head)’) and Proto-Balto-Slavic *wolˀtis (‘ear of grain’) (whence Lithuanian váltis (‘oat awn’)), as well as possibly Ancient Greek λᾰ́σῐος (lắsĭos, ‘hairy’)), though the semantic gap is wide.
