Fah root far, ‘continued motion of every kind,’ is supported also by. As derivatives of the Aryan root per, por,  πόρος, ‘way, passage,’ πόρθμος, ‘straits’ (see ), πορθμεύς, ‘ferryman,’ πορεύω, ‘to bring, convey, cross,’ πορεύεσθαι, ‘to go, travel, march’ (hence there is a leaning in  also to the meaning ‘to go by ship’ in the case of the root πορ);  perą. pirati, ‘to fly’; root par, ‘to lead across’;  peritus, ‘experienced’ —  , ‘movables,’ from the  varnde habe, varndez guot,  faranti scaz.   ,, ‘journey, ride, drive, voyage, course,’ from vart,  fart;   fard, ‘journey, voyage,’  fyrd, ferd, , ‘journey, voyage, expedition, troops on the march,’  ferð, , ‘journey’;  *farþs or *fards is wanting, but the term us-farþô (us skipa, ‘shipwreck’) occurs once. From por-ti-s, a derivative of the root por appearing in ; also.   ,, ‘track, trail, scent,’ the  of  vart,  fart, ‘track. way, journey, voyage,’ See.  ,, identical with.  ,, ‘flounce,’ simply , from and  falbala, whence also  furbelow.   ,, ‘falcon, hawk,’ from the  valke,  falcho,  (in  still written ). In the other languages the word does not appear till late in the Middle Ayes ( falke,  falcon,  valk), yet Falco already existed in ic proper names ( also  Wester-falcna). Among the Anglo-Saxons the falcon was called wealhheafoc, ‘Welsh hawk’; valr, ‘falcon,’ is  ‘the Kelic (bird)’; ,. Hence it is possible that falcho originated in the tribal name Volcae, ‘Kelts’; *volcon- may have become falkon-, and the Romance cognates ( falcone,  faucon) borrowed from it. But it is also possible that the word is connected with the cognates of ( falch, ‘a fawn-coloured cow’); hence, ‘a fawn-coloured (bird)’?. If, on the other hand, the word originated in the - cognates ( falco is recorded in the 4th ), we must base it on the falx, ‘sickle’; falco,  ‘sickle-bearer’ (on account of its hooked claws?).  ,, ‘to fall, abate, diminish,’ from the  valn,  fallan;  the common  word for ‘to fall’ (singularly, however, it is unknown to );   falla,  feallan,  to fall,  fallan. The root fal-l, pre- phal-n., appears in  and  as sphal with an s prefixed;   σφάλλω, ‘to fell, overthrow,’ σφάλλομαι, ‘to fall, be deceived.’  fallo is based directly upon the root phal, ‘to deceive’;  root sphal, ‘to stagger’; also  pǔlu, púlti, ‘to fall,’; and akin to  phala, ‘ripe, falling fruit’?. —  ,, ‘fall, ruin, event, case (in gram., &c.),’ and  val. ( valles), ;  fyll,, ‘fall, death, ruin.’ —   ,, from valle,  falla, , ‘snare, decipula’;  fealle, , ‘laqueus, decipula’ (wanting in ),  val, ‘snare, noose.’  ,, ‘false, wrong,’ from the  valsch, ;  *falsc is not recorded. On account of late fals,  false,  fals, which are clearly derived from, the word is doubtlessly connected in some way with  falsus. But since the latter retained its s unchanged ( falso,  faux, from  false), we cannot imagine that the word was borrowed directly from -Romance ( falskr is a German loanword of the 15th ). Probably valsch, a comparatively recent formation, from  gifalscón, gifęlscen, , ‘to falsify,’ which is derived from a  *falsicâre; Romance *falscare, ‘to falsify.’ The assumption that  valsch (akin to vâlant, ‘demon’?) is  allied to  fallere,  σφάλλεσθαι, is scarcely valid.  ', ', suffix, ‘-fold,’ from  -valt,  falt;   -falþs,  -feald,  -fold,  -faldr; a common  suffix in the formation of multiplicatives; it corresponds to  πλάσιος in δι-πλάσιος, &c. (also δίπαλτος, ‘twofold’), for pltios, with which seems to be  cognate. See, and under. <section end="-falt" /> , . ‘to fold, plait, knit (the brow),’ from the  valten,  faltan, faldan; corresponds to Goth falþan,  falda,  fealdan,  to fold; the  root is falþ, ‘to fold,’ pre- plt, with which   pletą. plesti, ‘to twist,’ διπλάσιος, ‘twofold’ (see under ),  puṭa, ‘fold,’ for plta. <section begin="Falte" /> ,, ‘fold, plait, crease, hem,’ from valte,  falt, , ‘fold,’ is<section end="Falte" />
