Ala  ölunn, ‘a fish’; of obscure origin, perhaps akin to.

 (2.),, ‘elecampane’ (a plant), from the  alant,  alant, ; of obscure origin; it has been supposed to be connected with the   and  ala.   ,, ‘alarm’, first occurs in , like alarm, from the   alarme; the latter is derived from  allarme, , all’ arme, ‘to arms.’ See.   , ‘alum,’ from  alũn,  ‘alum,’ from the   alûmen, whence also  alunas,  and  alun,  alum ( œlifne, also efne).    (1.), ,’ alb.’ from albe,  alba,, ‘a white vestment used at mass,’ formed from the   alba ( alb).

 (2.),, ‘bleak, whitebait,’ from the  albel, , formed from the  albula, whence also  able.   , Albeing,, ‘black currant,’ even in  albere; al- is generally connected with  (2). Corresponding to aalbes, aalbezie.   ,, ‘white poplar,’ from alber,  albâri, , ‘poplar’;  borrowed from ;   albaro, which is connected either with  albus or with  arbor;  arbar, ‘poplar,’ occurs once.  ,, ‘silly, foolish,’ earlier alber, from  álwœre, ‘simple, silly,’  álawâri, ‘kind, friendly, well-disposed’ (with an interesting change of meaning from  to ). The  signifies also ‘truly, quite true’; so  wêrs ‘true,’ also means ‘friendly’ by inference from un-wêrjan, ‘to be unwilling, displeased’ ( too  mitiwâriy, ‘friendly’). See and all. Moreover, has not the present meanings in the  dialects; Luther introduced it from  into the written language.  , ‘alchemy,’ from late  alchemie,, which is derived from the   cognates —  alchimia,  alchimie — the origin of which from  al-kimîâ and the earlier  χυμός, ‘juice,’ is undoubted. Al- as the article is still seen in, , , , ,. See.   ,, ‘foolery,’ from ale-vanz, , ‘trick, roguery, deceit’; connected with  giana-venzôn, ‘to mock’  (the al- of  as in ?), also  and. <section end="Alfanzerei" /> <section begin="Alkoven" /> , ,’ bedchamber, alcove.’ first occurs in from  alcôve ( also  alcove), which with its  cognates is based upon  al-qobbah, ‘vault, tent’; , also ,. <section end="Alkoven" /> ,, ‘all, whole,’ from and  al (  alles), , ‘entire, each, every one’; a word common to the  group; it corresponds to  alls,  allr,  eall,  all,  al,  ol, with the same meanings. There is also an form ala- in compounds and derivatives;   and  alung,  alenc, ‘entire, complete,’  alamans,, ‘everybody,’  ala-wâr, ‘quite true’ (see ), alaniwwi, ‘quite new.’ Probably  alla- as a participial form is based upon an older al-na- , since ala- shows that the root was al or rather ol. Whether alan, ‘to grow up’ (see ), is a cognate, remains uncertain; in any case, the  words,  uile, ule, ‘entire, each, all’ (base olio-), and  oil ‘entire,’ are rightly compared with it, while  ὅλος, on account of  sárvas (from Aryan solvo-s), ‘entire, each,’ must be kept apart. — ,, ‘solitary, sole,’ from al-ein, al-eine, like  al-one,  alone. — <section begin="allmählich" /> ', ',, ‘gradual,’ earlier and , from  almechlich ‘slow’; the later form  is based upon , ‘time,’ but the  form upon gemach. — <section end="allmählich" /> <section begin="Allmendee" /> ,, ‘common land,’ from  almende, , ‘common’; on account of the  spelling almeinde and algemeine, the derivation from gemeine is probable ( *alagimeinida).
