Cognate Set 6119 – Meaning: fire

IE-CoR reference form:
*Hengl-
IE-CoR reference language:
Proto-Indo-European
Ideophonic:
no
Parallel derivation:
no
Proposed as cognate to:
*h₁n̥gni- [Proto-Indo-European] scale: 2
Justification:
Indo-Iranic lexemes from Vedic áṅgāra- 'glowing charcoal' (Turner 1962–1966:6-7, no. 125), probably further from a PIE nominal formation *ángol-/*angl- or *Héngol-/*Hengl- (cf. ALEW 41 s.v. OLith. anglìs 'coal'). A further connection to Vedic agní- 'fire' could be possible, but the details remain uncertain (cf. EWAia I:48). For Nuristan languages, cf. Strand 1998.
