"beli" meaning in Romanian

See beli in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Audio: LL-Q7913 (ron)-Filosoful-beli.wav
Etymology: Probably from Latin vellere, with a change in conjugation. Traditionally, it was usually thought to be from Slavic bĕliti (“to whiten”); however, this presents a problem with semantics and there is already another word in Romanian derived from this source, bili, that preserved the original meaning. Compare also Aromanian bilescu.
