Ell comnmon Aryan ŏle- (whence too ?). From the *alina the Romance cognates —  alna ( aune) — are borrowed. —   ', ',, from the  ęllenboge, ęlenboge,  ęlinbogo, , ‘elbow.’   elleboog,  ęlnboga, ,  elbow,  ǫlnboge, , ‘elbow,’  ‘bend of the arm.’   , see. — , similarly.   ,, ‘minnow,’ akin to and  erlinc. See.   , (in Swiss œgeršt, on the Mid-Rhine atzel,  hätz and kœ̂gerš), ‘magpie,’ from the   egelster, agelster, aglaster,  aglastra, ; corresponding to  agastria,  âgster,  ekster, aakster, ‘magpie.’ Its origin is altogether dubious; -striôn seems here, as sometimes in other cases, to be a  suffix. The meaning of the base ag-ul- may have already been ‘magpie,’ as is indicated by agazza, ‘magpie’ (hence  atzel for agze-l; , , ),  agu, ‘magpie.’ From the  (type *agatja),  gazza, and  agace, are derived.   ,, from the  (seldom occurs) ęltern, altern, ,  ęltiron, (altron), , ‘parents’; corresponds to  ęldiron,  ouders, ouderen,  yldran,  aldera, ‘parents’; the  of the  of  used as a  in West  only. In the corresponding  yldra in  denotes ‘father.’ For a similar evolution of meaning ,.  ', ', see. ,, ‘upwards, aloft,’ from enbor, enbore, , ‘into or in the heights’;  inbore, in bore, with the same meaning; a combination of the  in with the  of  and  dor, ‘upper space’ ( also ‘summit’), the origin of which is obscure. It scarcely belongs to the root ber, ‘to carry’ (in ); more probably to. The p of the word is based on an early  medium form entbôr, from which, , must have been produced.  ,, ‘to excite, enrage, to revolt,’ from  enbœren,  (occurs only once) anabôren, ‘to raise’; akin to  bôr, , ‘defiance, revolt.’ The origin of the cognates is uncertain, because it is difficult to determine whether the r is primitive or whether it is by a later change based upon s (z); with ber, ‘upper  space’ — see  — there seems to be a connection by gradation of u to au;   ( bôsi) is not allied.  ,, ‘busy, active, assiduous, industrious,’ from ęmȥec, ęmȥic,  ęmaȥȥig, ęmiȥȥig (also with tz) ‘constant, persistent, continuous’;  and  have , instead of the non-existent. A derivative by means of the suffix -ig from ęmiȥ, whence  ęmeȥliche. Its connection with is questionable, since ă- as an accented prefix is not to be found. œ̂metig, emtig, ‘free, empty,’ empty, is not allied. With greater probability, the West term for ‘ant’ (see ) is related to.  ,, ‘end, aim, termination,’ from the  ęnde,  ęnti, , ; corresponds to  ęndi, ,  einde,  ęnde, ,  end,  ender, ende, ,  andeis,  ‘end.’ The common  stem andja-, from pre- antyá-, is closely connected with Sans ánta-s, , ‘boundary, end, edge, border,’  êt (from anto-?), ‘end, point.’ <section end="Ende" /> <section begin="Endivie" /> ,, ‘endive,’ early only, formed from the   and  endivia ( intibus). <section end="Endivie" /> ,, ‘narrow, close, strait, confined,’ from the  and  ęnge,  ęngi, angi; corresponds to  aggwus,  øngr (seldom ǫngr), ‘narrow,’  eng; from the  root ang, Aryan angh, preserved also in. angustus, angustiœ, angere (see also ), as well as aṅhú, ‘narrow,’ áṅhas,, ‘narrowness, chasm, oppression,’  ązŭkŭ, ‘narrow,’  ἄγχω, ‘to strangle,’  anjuk,  cum-ung, ‘narrow.’ <section begin="Engel" /> ,, from the  ęngel,  ęngil, angil, , ‘angel’; corresponding to  ęngil,  engel,  ęngel (but  angel is borrowed from the  angele),  engell,  aggilus, , ‘angel.’ The cognates which are diffused throughout  are borrowed from the ecclesiastical  angelus, or more probably from  ἄγγελος, ‘angel.’ How they were borrowed cannot, it is true, be discovered with any certainty. <section end="Engel" /> <section begin="Engerling" /> ,, ‘grub of the cockchafer,’ from ęngerlinc,   ęngerinc(g), , ‘corn-weevil,’ a derivative of  angar, angari,  anger, ęnger, ‘corn-weevil’; scarcely <section end="Engerling" />
