εὐλή in Ancient Greek

IPA: /eu̯.lɛ̌ː/, /eˈβli/, /eˈvli/, /eu̯.lɛ̌ː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ewˈle̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /eˈβli/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /eˈvli/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /eˈvli/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: According to Frisk, it is an old verbal noun from εἰλέω (eiléō, “to turn, roll”), which is from Proto-Indo-European *welH- (“to turn, wind”), properly meaning "that which winds or coils". However, a prothetic vowel *ἐ-ϝλ-ή is impossible, unless *h₁uel- is assumed; however, this would give ὑλ-. In view of all these considerations, Beekes prefers a Pre-Greek origin for this word.
