Pöll

poll Poll póll põll Central Franconian Alternative forms gmw-cfr Pell western and central Moselle Franconian Etymology gmw-cfr, though a relation with gmw-cfr la pullus chick is very suggestive. The feminine would point to la pulla young hen, but since hens are of much greater interest in poultry keeping than roosters, a development “chicken” → “hen” is always likely. The phonetically exact form (gmh *pülle) could be derived from the Latin masculine plural la pullī. Romance origin is also suggested by the restriction to western dialects. At any rate the same word as lb Pëll young hen, and nl pul young duck from early modern nl pulle young hen.
