Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle High German: felse

Geërf van Old High German: fels

Verwante met Old Saxon: felis

In summary

From Middle High German felse, fels, from Old High German fels m (8. c), felis m (8. c), feliso m (8. c), felisa f (9. c), possibly from Proto-West Germanic *falis (“rock, cliff”), whence Old Saxon felis, Middle Dutch vels.
Pfeifer is uncertain about the further origin. In one theory, he mentions the comparison to Old Norse fjall, Swedish fjäll, Sanskrit पाषाण (pāṣāṇá), Ancient Greek πέλλα (pélla), Old Irish all (from Proto-Celtic *ɸallom) and thus reconstructs Proto-Indo-European *pels-, *pelis-. In another theory he mentions, the Old High German, Old Saxon and Middle Dutch terms are taken as a continuation of Pre-Indo-European *palá- (“mountain”) whence also falaise (“cliff”).
