*wulgī
Runic: ᚹᚢᛚᚷᛁ Pronunciation: /ˈwul.ɣiː/noun · feminine · ī/jō-stem
Meanings
she-wolf
Etymology
From earlier *wulgwī, from Proto-Indo-European *wl̥kʷíh₂s (‘she-wolf’), though with the suffix replaced with the ablauting *-ih₂. The delabialization is probably triggered by following *j, though the expected interference of Siever's Law may complicate this explanation. Compare Proto-West Germanic *wulbi.
