^{page 18 note 1} The derivation of anhēlare from a preposition with hālare is, I am convinced, erroneous. The root of Lat. anima, Grk. ἄνεμος, Sk. ánila-s, is an∂-. As other ‘dissyllabic’ roots frequently show in Sanskrit (‘from ’?), I would connect anhēlus ‘gasping’ directly with Sk. ánila-s ‘wind’ (cf. ániti ‘he gasps’). The ē of anhēlus shows the same riddlesome variation in colour (ē and not ā) shown by ἄνεμος while its length as well as the h may well be of secondary origin—by association with hālare—or we may here have the result of an Aryan (?).

I am also not in accord with the derivation of hālare from a noun-stem *an-s-lo-, even though this is a very neat phonetic feat. To me hālare looks very much like an extension of , the sighing interjection.
