來(lái)源：
Romany phral, phal ; akin to Sanskrit bhr3t3 [brother] * see bhr3ter-
吉卜賽語(yǔ) phral, phal ；類似于 梵文 bhr3t3 [兄弟] *參見(jiàn) bhr3ter-

<注釋>Pal, like buddy and chum, has an informal,thoroughly .American. ring to it.One might think thatpal had been a fixture in the English language forever. In fact,pal is a fairly recent acquisition from a rather exotic source—the language of the Gypsies. First recorded in English in the 7th century,pal was borrowed from Romany, the Indic language of the Gypsies,specifically from a word meaning .brother, comrade,.which occurs asphal in the Romany spoken in England andphral in the Romany spoken in Europe. Gypsies speak an Indic languagebecause they originally migrated to Europe from the border region between Iran and India.In other Indic languages we find related words meaning .brother,.such as Hindustanibh3i, Prakritbh3da or bh3y3, and Sanskrit bhr3t3. All these terms trace their ancestry to the same Indo-European word that our wordbrother does.
Pal 與 buddy 和 chum 一樣， 都有不正式的，完全.美國(guó)式.的圈。一個(gè)人可能會(huì)認(rèn)為pal 永遠(yuǎn)是英國(guó)語(yǔ)言中的固定詞。 但實(shí)際上，pal 是最近從外來(lái)語(yǔ)源——吉普賽語(yǔ)言中獲得的。 最早在7世紀(jì)被記錄于英語(yǔ)中，pal 借自吉普賽語(yǔ)， 即吉普賽人說(shuō)的印度語(yǔ)言，特別是從意為.兄弟，同志.的一個(gè)詞而來(lái)，它在英格蘭的吉普賽語(yǔ)中寫(xiě)成phal， 在歐洲所講的吉普賽語(yǔ)中寫(xiě)成phral 。 因?yàn)榧召惾俗畛跏菑囊晾屎陀《鹊倪吔绲貐^(qū)移居到歐洲的，因此他們講一種印度語(yǔ)言，在另一種印度語(yǔ)言里我們可以找到意為.兄弟.的相關(guān)詞，如興都斯坦的bhai， 帕拉克里語(yǔ)的bhada 或 bhaya 以及梵語(yǔ)的 bhrata 。 所有這些詞和我們的詞語(yǔ)brother 一樣都可追溯到相同的印歐詞源
