tangol

noun. pin, brooch

A noun meaning “pin, brooch” derived from primitive ᴹ✶tankla [taŋkla] (Ety/TAK). First the [[ilk|[k] became [g] after the nasal [ŋ]]] and then [[ilk|final [l] became syllabic and developed into [ol]]]. These developments were suggested by Helge Fauskanger (AL-Ilkorin/tangol).
