  1. imperative of tola

Old English

edit

Etymology

edit

Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *tōlą, from Proto-Indo-European *dewh₂- (to tie to; secure). Possibly inherited through Proto-West Germanic, but since the term is not attested in any other West Germanic language, it may instead be borrowed from Old Norse tól.

  1. tool, implement, instrument

Derived terms

Old Irish

edit

Etymology

edit

Unknown. MacBain associates it with Proto-Indo-European *telh₂- (to bear, endure), but the semantic connection is tenuous.

The form toil was originally the accusative singular, while the form tuil was the dative singular. But both forms were already confused in the Glosses.
