Flo  pluditi, ‘to float,’ under.   ,, from the  floite, vloite, , ‘flute’; corresponds to  fluit, from  flaüte,  flûte (whence also  flute,  fluit);   flauto, ‘flute.’ In the idiom , ‘to come to nothing,’ a  fleuten, ‘to flow’ ( fliotan), appears; it meant  (in the 18th ) ‘to go through, run away.’  ,, ‘afloat; merry, luxurious,’ first occurs in from ;   vlot, ‘floating, swimming’; it is connected with , , but has, like ,  the dental medially, hence it must be assumed that the word was borrowed from.  ,, ‘fleet, navy,’ only, from  flotte, which, with its  cognates, was borrowed from  flote, , ‘fleet’;   vloot, but  fleet; all allied to ,  root flut.   ,, , ‘to float (timber), skim (milk),’ from vlœȥen, vlœtzen, ‘to cause to flow, wash down (soil),’ factitive of. The forms with ȥ and tz correspond to those of,  ( heiȥen-heitzen, reiȥen-reitzen), and are based upon a  inflexion flautja, flauteis, since tj leads, through the medium of tt, to  tz, but t without j to ȥ.   ',, older ', , ‘vein of ore,’ from vlętze, , ‘threshing-floor, vestibule, stratum,’  flęzzi;   flętt, ‘floor of the hall,’  flet, ‘room, hall’; akin to the   flatr,  flaȥ, ‘flat, wide, level,’ mentioned under  and.  ,, from the  vluochen,  fluohhôn, ‘to curse, imprecate,’ with an existent    farfluohhan, ‘depraved, wicked’;   farflôken, ‘accursed’;  flôkan (not *flêkan),  , ‘to lament,’  vloeken, ‘to curse, execrate,’ In  and  the  root flôk does not occur. flôkan, ‘to lament, bewail,’ shows the earlier meaning of the cognates; the root flôk, from pre- plâg, may be connected with plangere, ‘to strike, mourn,’  root, πλαγ  in πλήσσω (ἐξεπλάγη), ‘to strike.’ The  verb facilitates the transition of the meaning ‘to strike,’ ‘to lament,’ then ‘to imprecate, curse.’ —  , from the  vluoch,,  fluoh, , ‘curse, imprecation’;  vloek.   ,, ‘flight, escape, refuge; row, floor,’ the  vluht,  and  fluht, , a verbal abstract from ;  vlugt,  flyht,  flight;  *þlaúhti-, ‘flight,’ is wanting, for which þlauhi- occurs. In flótte,, ‘flight,’ pointing to  þlaúhta. The verbal abstract of might in  and West  coincide with this word; in fact,  flyht,  flight, and  vlugt signify both ‘fleeing’ and ‘flying.’ See  with respect to this confusion.   , ‘mill trough,’ from  vlôder,, ‘flowing, flooding, mill trough,’  flôdar, ‘flood of tears.’ In  *flauþr, , is probably to be assumed, based upon a root flau, flu;   flouwen, flęwen,  vlouwen, vlöun, ‘to wash, rinse.’ The  sense of the word is exactly that of ;   flau-mr, ‘current, flood’; for pre- plu, see under. <section end="Fluder" /> <section begin="Flug" /> ,, ‘act of flying, flight, flock,’ from vluc ( vlüge),  fluy, ; corresponding to  flyge,  flugn, , ‘flight’; verbal abstract of. For another form see under. *flugi- and *flauhti- are wanting. — <section end="Flug" /> ,, ‘hastily, quickly,’ a of ,  fluges, ‘quickly.’ <section begin="Flügel" /> ,, ‘wing, leaf (of a folding door), aisle, grand piano,’ from the  vlügel, .;   vleugel, ‘wing’; a late derivative of. Strange to say, a common word is wanting. For an root, ‘to fly,’ see  (also ). <section end="Flügel" /> <section begin="flügge" /> ,, ‘fledged,’ a form for the strictly  ,  vlücke,  flucchi, ‘able to fly.’ Akin to  vlugghe, with  permutation,  fledged;  a verbal  from , with the meaning ‘capable of flying.’ <section end="flügge" /> , see. <section begin="Flunder" /> ,, ‘flounder,’ a word derived from ;   flundra,  flundrae,  flounder. Akin also to flyðra,  vluoder, ‘flounder’?. <section end="Flunder" /> ,, to glimmer,’ from the older , ‘to shine’; see. In the sense ‘to brag,’ which is probably, it is still the same word; ‘to cause to shine’ forms the link between the meanings. <section begin="Flur" /> ,, , ‘field, meadow, floor, entrance-hall’; the division in meaning in , , ‘vestibule,’ , ,<section end="Flur" />
