Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *gʷel- (“to dribble, to gush forth, spring”). Akin to Proto-West Germanic *kwalljā (“spring, well”).

In Slovene, the outcome of the proto-Slavic verb (nowadays obsolete) has merged/been supplanted by the similarly sounding German borrowing žlampáti (“to gulp, to swallow noisily”) < German schlampen.

Verb

*želpati

  1. (transitive) to gutter, to pour in
