[[pilleus]], <b class="b2">-eum</b> [[feltcap]], Germ., e.g. OHG [[filz]] m., OE [[felt]] m. (n.?), Slav., e.g. ORuss. [[pъlstъ]] f. [[feltcover]], Russ. <b class="b2">pólstь</b> f. [[cover]], [[carpet]], [[felt]]. The Germ. words go back on a PGm. <b class="b2">*filti-</b>, <b class="b2">*felta-</b> (orig. <b class="b2">s-</b>stem <b class="b2">*filtiz-</b> : <b class="b2">*feltaz-</b> from IE <b class="b2">*peldos-</b> n. ?) and may belong to OHG NHG [[falzen]] [[connect]], [[put on]], [[in]] etc.; in that case they could be dismissed. The Slav. words are polyinterpretable: they can contain before the final <b class="b2">-ti-</b> both [[d]] and [[s]]. Also Lat. [[pilleus]] can be interpreted in several ways: in order to form on the one hand a bridge to [[πῖλος]], on the other a connection with [[pilus]] [[hair]], one posits since J. Schmidt KZ 32, 387 f. (thus still Brüch IF 63, 237) an orig. <b class="b2">*pil-s-</b>, which would be a zero gade of IE <b class="b2">*pilos-</b> n. beside <b class="b2">*pilo-</b> m. [[hair]], a for the time characteristic but not very convincing paper construction. -- Prob. rather an old cultureword of unknown origin (cf. Ernout BSL 30, 115). -- Details w. rich lit. in W.-Hofmann s. [[pilleus]] and Vasmer Wb. s. <b class="b2">pólstь</b>; also WP. 2, 71 and Pok. 830.
