- falamh
- empty, Irish folamh, Middle Irish folum, Early Irish folom, folomm; cf. Old Welsh guollung, Middle Breton gollo, Breton goullo. Windisch derives the Gaelic from lom, bare, but the modern aspiration of folamh makes this derivation doubtful. Ernault refers the Breton to the root of Latin langueo.
