RFV-failed Old English section
edit- The Old English word 'fel' (ancestor of 'fell#Etymology_4') failed RFV because it is attested only as 'felo, felu, fæle' and in compounds such as 'ealfelo, ealfelu, ælfæle, wælfel'. It derives from Proto-Germanic *faliz (“wicked, cruel”) and is akin to Old Frisian fal, Old Dutch fel "cruel, wrathful, bad, base", Danish fæl "hideous, disgusting, ghastly, grim".
- On its own, it would have meant 'cruel, wicked; fierce, savage'.
- See also: ealfelo, ealfelu, ælfæle, wælfel

RFV discussion
editThe following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
Old English, the entry itself and fell#Etymology 4 claim this is unattested. I suppose we'd better check, I did consider speedy deleting the entry, per itself. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:02, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
