Obviously, running away and fearing are the most closely related
notions.

Therefore, the starting ur-word for fleeing and fearing (or better
flinching) was BELGON (Bel /sun god/ + GON /drive, move, go/); Belgon
derived later to Balkan/ Vulkan and VALJANJE (wallow, Gr. βαλλω I
throw; hence ballistics; Serb. OBALITI throw an object down the coast
/Serb. OBALA coast/). Above mentioned VALJANJE (BALJANJE, wallow,
waltz) is the one form of the basis BELGON; the other one is the Serb.
POGON (propulsion, from POLAŽENJE, POLAZAK, POLAZ outset, beginning,
Lat. PULSE), Greek βαγόνι, Eng. wagen, Eng. BEGIN.

Next time:
What is the relation among the Greek βαγόνι, English WAGON, BEGIN
and Serbian POGON and POČETAK (begining)?
