In summary

From Middle High German val (inflected valwe), from Old High German falo, from Proto-Germanic *falwaz. While the variant falb is from the Middle High German inflected stem, the form fahl is based on the uninflected stem. However, the lengthened vowel points to influence by varieties that reduce -lw- to -l- even in open syllables; these include Middle Low German vāl (declined vāle), from Old Saxon falu. See the same development in kahl. Cognate with Dutch vaal, English fallow.
