Fal  cognate with puṭa, ‘fold’ (from pulta). See. — From an  ( fyldstôl), ‘folding stool,’ is derived the  cognate fauteuil, which has lately been adopted again by ;   faldistolium, faldistorium,  faldistorio.   ,, simply , ‘butterfly’; the term is vîvalter (corrupted also into zwivalter), ‘butterfly,’ from which the  word has been corrupted by connecting it with. But vîvalter is based upon an  term for ‘butterfly,’ which may have been *feifaldrô in ;   fîfaltra,  fîfoldara,  fîfealde,  fifrilde, ‘butterfly’; akin to  vijfwouter, ‘a sort of butterfly.’ The origin of this term is not yet established, although it is probably a reduplicated form like  and.  ,, ‘to fold, groove, rabbet,’ from velzen, valzen,  falzen, ‘to fold’; , , from  valz, , ‘fold, joint’; akin to  anafalz, ‘anvil,’  anfilt,  anvil,  anbeeld, ‘anvil’ (see ). The cognates are undoubtedly connected with ; valz may have been *falti in, which would probably represent falt-ti, pltni- (  from ). —, see. ', ',, ‘to catch, seize, fish (an anchor), soften (hides),’ from vâhen, vân,  fâhan, ‘to catch, intercept, seize’; the common   —  fâhan,  fá,  fôn (for *fôhan from *fõhan; wanting in ) — has the same meaning. Root fanh (whence fãh, fâh), and by a grammatical change fang (this form is really found only in the and, but it has made its way in  into the  also), pre- pank. With the cognates some have compared the unnasalised root pak, in  pax, pacem ( ‘strengthening’?); akin to the nasalised pango ( pactum), with g for c?,  pãça, ‘cord’; the root pak appears without a nasal in  fôg; see. —  ,, ‘catch, capture, fang, clutches, haul,’ from vanc, ,  fang;   feng, ‘clutch, embrace,’ fang, ‘capture,’  fang (tooth, claw).   ,, ‘coxcomb,’ a form (  vent, ‘a would-be wit, fool’), for  vanz, , ‘rogue’ (still existing in alfanz,  ‘vagabond’;   , , the first part of which is ob - scure, perhaps connected with  fyrlen, ‘foreign’?). See.   ,, ‘colour, complexion, suit (of cards),’ from varwe,  farawa, ‘colour’; a fem,  from the   var, inflected form varwer, ‘coloured,’ from  faro ( farawêr);   verw. The word originated probably in Middle Europe, but found its way to the North; farve,  färg. Is *farwa-,  (whence  parwas, ‘colour’), or *fazwa to be postulated?   ,, , ‘fern,’ from the  and  varn, varm; corresponds to  varenkruid,  fearn,  fern. The interchange of n and m in and  is due to the assimilation of the suffix na- to the initial labial;   feim with  phêna, and  bodam with  budhna. is wanting in ; yet   fänne ( *ferne). The type is doubtlessly Aryan parna-, which is identical with parṇa,, ‘wing, feather, foliage, leaf’; hence  is  ‘feather-like leaf’ ( πτερίς, ‘fern,’ and πτερόν, ‘feather’). Probably allied also to papartis,  paporotĭ ( *papratĭ), ‘fern.’   ,, ‘bullock, bull,’ from the  varre, var, ,  farro, far, ; corresponding to  varre, var, ‘bull,’  fearr, ,  farre, , ‘bull.’ Since there is a corresponding fen. form,, the rr must have originated in rz (rs),. —   , (unknown to ), ‘heifer,’ from  ( and ) vęrse, ;   vaars, ‘heifer’ (likewise vaarkoe, ‘heifer’); in  probably *farsi,  farsjôs;  heifer, from the   heáhfore, heáfre,, seems to contain , , in the final syllable. The stem farz, fars, does not recur exactly in the cognate languages, yet πόρις, πόρτις, ‘calf, heifer,’ agree with it in sound; likewise  pṛšatî, ‘white-spotted cow’ ( of prat, ‘speckled, spotted’)?. <section end="Färse" /> <section begin="Färse" /> , see under. <section end="Färse" /> ,, ‘to fart,’ from the  varzen (also vurzen, vërzen), allied to  fërzan, ‘to fart’; corresponds to  feortan,  to fart;  (with transposition of the r), freta. root fert, from the Aryan perd, with the same meaning;  root pard,  πέρδειν,  pérdżu, pérsti,  perdětĭ. <section begin="Fasan" /> ,, ‘pheasant,’ from the  and  fasân, fasant, ; the<section end="Fasan" />
