Where this word comes from

From Proto-Finnic *nakla (compare Estonian nael), borrowed from Proto-Germanic *naglaz (compare Swedish nagel). * ((coat) peg): The first coat pegs were often simply nails hammered on a wall and left to protrude out. * (unit of weight): Perhaps a later semantic loan from Germanic; in some varieties of German, Nagel and its cognates have been used to refer to a unit of weight as well.
