    PS *volsŭ is related to Avestan varəsa- 'hair', Middle Persian vars 'hair' and Old Indic válśa- 'young twig, sprout'. These words are derived from from PIE root *u̯el(ə)- with a suffix *-so-, cf. words without that suffix: Lithuanian valaĩ 'hair of horse tail', Old Indic vā́la- 'hair of horse tail' and dialectal Polish włoć 'spike'.
  • Derksen, Rick: 526-527
    S.v. Proto-Slavic *volsъ 'hair', from PIE *u̯olk̑-o- (cf. Skt. válśa- 'sprout, twig', LAv. varəsa- 'hair (on the head)').
