From the Vennemann quote, translated:
..../....
Assyr. palgu "canal", puluggu, pulungu "region"15
plgh "division; region (as part of a tribe); brook"
plh "separate"
plh "cleave", Modern Hebrew, Aram. "dig, cultvate field",
also in Arabic, as Aramaic loanword; "furrow, dig up" 16
plk "division, region; spindel"
****GK: Any possibility this loan could have reached Eastern and Northern Europe via Cimmerian or Scythian (groups which had close military dealings with the Assyrians and Arameans in the 8th and 7th cs. BCE)? (As an alternative to the Peoples of the Sea scenario)Or would that be too late?*****
