*[[wulf]]

===Etymology===
From {{etyl|gem-pro|ang}} {{recons|wulfaz|lang=gem-pro}}, from {{etyl|ine-pro|ang}} {{recons|wĺ̥kʷos|lang=ine-pro}}.  Germanic cognates include Old Frisian {{term|wolf}}, Old Saxon {{term|wulf}}, Dutch {{term|wolf|lang=nl}}. Old High German {{term|wolf}} (German {{term|Wolf}}), Old Norse {{term|úlfr}} (Swedish {{term|ulv}}), Gothic {{term|𐍅𐌿𐌻𐍆𐍃||tr=wulfs|lang=got}}.  The Indo-European root is also the source of Avestan ''vəhrka-'', Lithuanian {{term|vilkas}}, Old Church Slavonic {{term|влькъ|lang=cu}} (Russian {{term|волк|lang=ru}}). Ancient Greek {{term|λύκος|lang=grc}} and Latin {{term|lupus}} also probably from the same root, either internally borrowed or with metathesis because of a wolf taboo.
