köken: From Middle High German schimel, schimmel, from Old High German skimbal (“mould”), ultimately from the root of scheinen (“to shine”). The expected Middle High German form is seemingly unattested *schimbel, but all three forms (schimel, schimmel, *schimbel) would have yielded modern German Schimmel. Cognate with Dutch schimmel (“mould”).
köken: Used since 1582 < German Wallach (“gelding”) < Walachei (“Wallachia”); probably because the practice of castrating horses spread to Europe from the East
Vlach (person from Wallachia or of Wallachian descent)
çekim: çoğul Wołosi · tamlayan Wołocha
köken: Borrowed from Old East Slavic волохъ (voloxŭ), from Proto-Slavic *volxъ, from Proto-Germanic *walhaz. Doublet of Walia, wałach, Wałach, Włoch, and Włochy.
köken: Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic влахъ (vlaxŭ), from Proto-Slavic *volxъ, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *walhaz (“foreigner”). See also the doublet olasz (“Italian”).
