===Etymology===
From {{etyl|gem-pro|ang}} {{m|gem-pro|*wulfaz}}, from {{etyl|ine-pro|ang}} {{m|ine-pro|*wĺ̥kʷos}}. Germanic cognates include {{etyl|ofs|-}} {{m|ofs|wolf}}, {{etyl|osx|-}} {{m|osx|wulf}}, {{etyl|nl|-}} {{m|nl|wolf}}. {{etyl|goh|-}} {{m|goh|wolf}} ({{etyl|de|-}} {{m|de|Wolf}}), {{etyl|non|-}} {{m|non|úlfr}} ({{etyl|sv|-}} {{m|sv|ulv}}), {{etyl|got|-}} {{m|got|𐍅𐌿𐌻𐍆𐍃}}. The Indo-European root is also the source of {{etyl|ae|-}} ''vəhrka-'', {{etyl|lt|-}} {{m|lt|vilkas}}, {{etyl|cu|-}} {{m|cu|влькъ}} ({{etyl|ru|-}} {{m|ru|волк}}). {{etyl|grc|-}} {{m|grc|λύκος}} and {{etyl|la|-}} {{m|la|lupus}} also probably from the same root, either internally borrowed or with metathesis because of a wolf taboo.
