Background

edit

The site map of the day[29] says that Walha is a proto-Germanic word that means "foreign" . and the dictionaray sansagntstated that Walh (singular) or Walha (plural) (ᚹᚨᛚᚺᚨ) is an ancient Germanic word, meaning "foreigner", "stranger" or "roman". The site wordaz states that The Anglo-Saxons called the Romano-British *Walha, meaning 'Romanised foreigner' or 'stranger'. The Welsh continued to call area as Welschland, which has the same etymology as the English Welsh (see Walha). In Germany Welsch and Welschland refer to Italy. The adjectival form is attested in Old Norse valskr, meaning 'French'; Old High German walhisk, meaning 'Romance'; New High German welsch, used in Switzerland and South Tyrol for Romance speakers; Dutch Waals 'Walloon'; Old English welisċ, wælisċ, wilisċ, meaning 'Brythonic'. The forms of these words imply that they are descended from a Proto-Germanic form *walhiska-. and the economy term . Volcae was a confederation of the tribes created after the raid if combined Gauls in 277 bc.The Volcae tribes were found in southern Gaul, Moravia, the Ebro valley of the Iberian Peninsula, and Galatia in Anatolia Alternatively, the name Uolcae has been derived by some scholars from the PIE name of the wolf, *wḷkʷos. In the Old English it has also been described as wealc- ('hawk'), which has no known cognate in other Germanic languages, was most likely borrowed from Old Brittonic *wealkos. In particular, the Gaulish personal name Catu-uolcos has an exact parallel in the Welsh cadwalch ('hero, champion, warrior')

The debate prove that these people were invaders thus referred to be "foreigners" and had good administrative and military abilities and due to which they were referred as wolf and hawks by some scholars.

Walhalla is the German form of Old Norse Valhöll, which is commonly anglicised as Valhalla. These people also believed in a life after death for the warriors who fell while fighting which is similar to the Norse belief which makes it seem like these people are related or descendants of kurgan cave which built tombs for the dead . In short it seems we are discussing WALHA the ancient Germanic and gothic tribe used this term in historical contexts and books that cover this topic may include works on Germanic and Gothic history such as "The Goth in the fourth century " by Peter Heather0[30]

In the Gothic language, the Goths were called the *Gut-þiuda ('Gothic people') or *Gutans ('Goths)or jat in India means "archer" establish Gothland in Europe also called Jutland .we also found the ancient Gutian rule in Mesopotamia .The Proto-Germanic form of the Gothic name is *Gutōz, which co-existed with an n-stem variant *Gutaniz, attested in Gutones, gutani, or gutniskr. The form *Gutōz is identical to that of the Gutes and closely related to that of the Geats (*Gautōz).[31]

Etymology

edit

The actual etymology of Walha/Wahla is from proto indo European Welh[32](chosen one ).In proto italic waleo in Latin valeo which means to rule or be strong. In proto Germanic waldana which also means to rule or be strong. In pre proto Germanic welhdati and veldeti which means to possess or govern. In proto Celtic it was known as walatros which translates to ruler. In proto tocharian A it was known as wal which means king. In proto tocharian B it was known as walo which also means king. In proto Celtic it was known as walos meaning prince or chief .[33] The term Walha generally means "chosen one " the ruler, world ruler, lord, Master, protector, an excellent warrior or one among all is the endonym . The origin or etymology of English word valour, valiant, validate and valentine is Latin word valar plural of vala according to vocabulary. Com .

Borrowed from Latin murrus ("wall") from vollum doublet of wall comes from this word via Germanic borrowing from Latin. Vallume or plural vallumes or valla ( historical ancient Rome ) a rampart, a wall as in a fortification .

Probably from Proto-Italic *walso, from Proto-Indo-European *uh₂lso-, itself perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *welH- (“to turn, wind, roll”). Compare Ancient Greek ἧλος (hêlos, “nail”).
