In summary

From Middle High German walten, from Old High German waltan, from Proto-West Germanic *waldan (“to reign”), from Proto-Germanic *waldaną, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂welh₁-. The Middle High German verb was conjugated as both a strong and a weak verb, suggesting a possible merger with unrecorded Old High German *waltōn, from Proto-West Germanic *waldōn, ultimately from the same source.
Compare English wield, Icelandic valda, Polish władać, Serbo-Croatian vládati, Russian владе́ть (vladétʹ).
