# voll
## German
### Etymology

From Middle High German vol, from Old High German foll, from Proto-West Germanic *full, from Proto-Germanic *fullaz, from Proto-Indo-European *pl̥h₁nós.
Compare Low German vull, Dutch vol, English full, Danish fuld, Swedish full.
The stem is spelt with v- before -o-, -ö- (as in voll, Völle, Völlerei), but with f- before -ü- (as in füllen, Fülle). Modern German does not allow v for /f/ before -u-, -ü- and the spelling of the other forms has never been adapted.

#### Usage notes

* Voll was originally construed with the genitive case. When the noun has no other adjective, this use is now literary and dated: voll Geldes, des Geldes voll (“full of money”), voll Kummers, des Kummers voll (“full of sorrow”). Instead, an apposition is predominantly used: voll Geld, voll Kummer. In this construction, the adjective may alternatively take the form voller, which in turn is sometimes interpreted as a preposition: voller Geld, voller Kummer. Furthermore, the preposition mit can be used chiefly in the literal sense of a filled container, and von can be used chiefly in figurative senses: voll mit Geld, voll von Kummer.
* If the noun has an additional adjective, then in addition to the alternative constructions, the genitive is still used: ein Eimer voll heißen Wassers (“a bucket full of hot water”). If an apposition is used, the cases of both nouns usually match: ein Eimer voll heißes Wasser; mit einem Eimer voll heißem Wasser.
