Etymology
In summary
Etymology tree Middle High German vol German voll From Middle High German vol, from Old High German foll, from Proto-West Germanic *full, from Proto-Germanic *fullaz, from Proto-Indo-European *pl̥h₁nós. Compare Low German vull, Dutch vol, English full, Danish fuld, Swedish full. The stem is spelt with v- before -o-, -ö- (as in voll, Völle, Völlerei), but with f- before -ü- (as in füllen, Fülle). Modern German does not allow v for /f/ before -u-, -ü- and the spelling of the other forms has never been adapted.
