"sweblaz" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See sweblaz in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈsweβ.lɑz/
Etymology: Uncertain. Compare Proto-Indo-European *swelplos (whence probably Latin sulfur), from the root *swel- (“to burn, smoulder”) (de Vaan); Kluge instead suggests that the Germanic and Latin, while from *swelplos, are borrowed from a pre-Indo-European substrate. This is supported by Kroonen, who additionally adduces Serbo-Croatian sȗmpor (“sulfur”), Old Armenian ծծումբ (ccumb, “sulfur”), Turkish kükürt (“sulfur”), Hebrew גופרית (gofrít, “sulfur”), Mongolian хухэр (xuxer, “sulfur”) as cognates from the same source.

  "etymology_text": "Uncertain. Compare Proto-Indo-European *swelplos (whence probably Latin sulfur), from the root *swel- (“to burn, smoulder”) (de Vaan); Kluge instead suggests that the Germanic and Latin, while from *swelplos, are borrowed from a pre-Indo-European substrate. This is supported by Kroonen, who additionally adduces Serbo-Croatian sȗmpor (“sulfur”), Old Armenian ծծումբ (ccumb, “sulfur”), Turkish kükürt (“sulfur”), Hebrew גופרית (gofrít, “sulfur”), Mongolian хухэр (xuxer, “sulfur”) as cognates from the same source.",
