plaosg

a husk, shell, Manx pleayse, Irish plaosg, Welsh plisg (pl.), Breton pluskenn. This Ernault considers borrowed from Romance - French peluche, shag, plush, English plush, from Latin *pilucius, hairy, pilus, hair: an unlikely derivation. Seemingly blaosg is another form (Manx bleayst, Middle Irish blaesc, Welsh blisg): *bhloid-sko-, root bhlo$$-i, bhle$$-, bhel, swell, etc.; Greek $$Gfloiós ( $$G*bhlovio-?), bark, shell, $$Gflédwn, bladder.
