*[[wulf]]

===Etymology===
From {{etyl|gem-pro|ang}} {{term/t|gem-pro|*wulfaz}}, from {{etyl|ine-pro|ang}} {{term/t|ine-pro|*wĺ̥kʷos}}.  Germanic cognates include Old Frisian {{term|wolf|lang=ofs}}, Old Saxon {{term|wulf|lang=osx}}, Dutch {{term|wolf|lang=nl}}. Old High German {{term|wolf|lang=goh}} (German {{term|Wolf|lang=de}}), Old Norse {{term|úlfr|lang=non}} (Swedish {{term|ulv|lang=sv}}), Gothic {{term|𐍅𐌿𐌻𐍆𐍃||tr=wulfs|lang=got}}.  The Indo-European root is also the source of Avestan ''vəhrka-'', Lithuanian {{term|vilkas|lang=lt}}, Old Church Slavonic {{term|влькъ|lang=cu}} (Russian {{term|волк|lang=ru}}). Ancient Greek {{term|λύκος|lang=grc}} and Latin {{term|lupus|lang=la}} also probably from the same root, either internally borrowed or with metathesis because of a wolf taboo.
