Etymology
From Old Norse nafli, from Proto-Germanic *nabalô, cognate with English navel, German Nabel. The Germanic word goes back to Proto-Indo-European *h₃nobʰ- (“navel, nave”), which is also the source of Latin umbilīcus, Ancient Greek ὀμφαλός (omphalós), and the Germanic word for "nave", *nabō.
