Etymology

Blend of: * Inherited from Proto-Slavic *valъ (“surge, wave”). * Resultant noun of валя́ (valjá, “to tumble, to plummet”), iterative verb from *valъ. * Instrumental noun of ва́лям (váljam, “to roll”), causative/inchoative verb from *valъ. * Technical meaning borrowed from Russian вал (val), ultimately from the same origin as the native lemma.
