Etymology
From Middle High German blā, blahe, from Old High German blaha, from Proto-Germanic *blahwǭ, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰlok-. The modern form is East Central German with intrusive -n- (taken from the Middle High German genitive-dative blān, blahen) and sporadic p- for initial b-. Related with Icelandic blæja (“veil”). Not related with plan (“planar, flat, smooth”), though it may be associated with it.
