Etymology / origin
Formal cognate with Proto-Germanic *falwaz (“pale, gray, fallow”), pointing to Proto-Indo-European *pol(H)wos; from the root *pelH- (“pale, gray”). From the same root derive Ancient Greek πολιός (poliós, “gray, hoary, pale, light”), Latin palleō (“I am pale, fade”), Sanskrit पलित (palitá-, “grey, hoary”), Old Armenian ալի (ali, “gray hair”).
