pedol

Welsh
Pedol

Etymology

From Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), perhaps borrowed from Latin pedālis (“of the foot”).[1] The presence of d rather than /ð/ dd suggests it would have been a learned borrowing into Middle Welsh, not an early borrowing into Proto-Brythonic.
