Etimologie (Engels)

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰlag- (“to hit, strike, beat”). Other etymologies point to *bʰleh₂- (no meaning given) or *bʰel- (“to shine, burn”). Traditionally asserted relationships to Sanskrit ब्रह्मन् (bráhman), Old Norse blót via conjectured *bʰlag-, *bʰlād- present difficulties.
