PG *fallaną, OE feallan VIIc, ME fallen, MnE fall, Dutch vallen, German fallen; further Latin abolēre “destroy.” Inflected variants include preterite singular féll. Without that long vowel, 1sg present and preterite coincide, and there is at least a theoretical possibility of 2/3sg present coinciding with 3sg preterite by assimilation.
