Etymology
A. R. hweol
:
Ayenb. hueȝel
:
Orm. wheol, whel
:
Icel. hvel, hjól
:
Dan. Swed. hjul
.
Zacher in his 'Das Gothische Alphabet,'
pp. 114-5, compares the two forms hweol, hweogel
with the Greek κίρκος, κύκλος ( = κύκυλος)
respectively, and so does not write hweól.
See also Grmm. D. M. p. 664,
where hweol is taken as corresponding to a Gothic hwil.
