                <etym xml:lang="ru">Несмотря на кажущуюся несовместимость значений, следует сблизить
                    с <ref type="xr" target="#entry_fælm"/> ‘марево’. Для последнего слова
                    восстанавливается значение ‘пыль’ (см. выше). Стало быть, <hi rendition="#rend_italic">fælmæn</hi> — ‘подобный
                    пыли, муке’, ‘мягкий, как пыль, мука’. Решительную поддержку находит такое
                    разъяснение в ваханском языке: <mentioned corresp="#mentioned_d2111e202" xml:id="mentioned_d2111e162" xml:lang="wbl"><lang/>

                        <gloss><q>мягкий</q></gloss></mentioned>. Совершенно аналогичное
                    семантическое развитие в славянских языках, где <mentioned corresp="#mentioned_d2111e224" xml:id="mentioned_d2111e184" xml:lang="ru"><lang/>
                        <w>мягкий, мука</w></mentioned> одного корня (<hi rendition="#rend_italic">*menk-</hi>). Конечный <hi rendition="#rend_italic">-æn</hi>
                    в <hi rendition="#rend_italic">fælm-æn</hi> выступает здесь как формант уподобления; ср. <hi rendition="#rend_italic">kar-æn</hi> ‘похожий
                    по возрасту’ от <ref type="xr" target="#entry_kar"/> ‘возраст’ (<hi rendition="#rend_italic">fælm-æn</hi>
                    ‘подобный пыли’).%n<bibl><ref type="bibl" target="#ref_Morgenstierne._IIFL"/><biblScope>II 237</biblScope></bibl>.</etym>
                <etym xml:lang="en">Despite the seeming incompatibility of the meanings, it should
                    be related to <ref type="xr" target="#entry_fælm"/> ‘mirage’. For the latter
                    word the meaning ‘dust’ is reconstructed (see above). Thus, <hi rendition="#rend_italic">fælmæn</hi> means
                    ‘similar to dust, flour’, ‘soft as dust, as flour’. Such an explanation finds
                    strong support in the Wakhi language: <mentioned corresp="#mentioned_d2111e162" xml:id="mentioned_d2111e202" xml:lang="wbl"><lang/>
                        <w>palm</w>

                        <gloss><q>soft</q></gloss></mentioned>; cf. <mentioned corresp="#mentioned_d2111e176" xml:id="mentioned_d2111e216" xml:lang="ydg"><lang/>
                        <w>polm</w>
                        <gloss><q>soft</q></gloss></mentioned>. Completely similar semantic
                    development is found in Slavic languages, where <mentioned corresp="#mentioned_d2111e184" xml:id="mentioned_d2111e224" xml:lang="ru"><lang/>
                        <w>mjagkij</w>

                        <gloss><q>flour</q></gloss></mentioned> are of the same root (<hi rendition="#rend_italic">*menk-</hi>).
                    The final <hi rendition="#rend_italic">-æn</hi> in <hi rendition="#rend_italic">fælm-æn</hi> is used as a similative formant; cf. <hi rendition="#rend_italic">kar-æn</hi>
                    ‘similar in age’ from <ref type="xr" target="#entry_kar"/> ‘age’ (<hi rendition="#rend_italic">fælm-æn</hi>
                    ‘similar to dust’).%n<bibl><ref type="bibl" target="#ref_Morgenstierne._IIFL"/><biblScope>II 237</biblScope></bibl>.</etym>
