+ It is [[af|la|ad-|volō|t2=to fly]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan reports Muller's derivation of [[m|la|volō]] from [[ine-pro|*gʷelh₁-|t=to raise the arm, throw]], which Walde and Hofmann rejected; he thinks a shift from raising the arm to flying conceivable for birds.^(de Vaan 2008) If so, it is cognate with [[grc|βάλλω|tr=bállō|t=to throw]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Semantic evolution==
