Etymological dictionaries say it originates from Middle English slow, slaw, from Old English *slaw (“sluggish, inert, slothful, late, tardy, torpid, slow”), from Proto-Germanic *slaiwaz, (“blunt, dull, faint, weak, slack”). Cognate with Scotd *slaw, (“slow”), Dutch *sleeuw (“blunt, dull”), Low German *slee (“dull, sluggish”), German*schlehe (“dull, exhausted, faint”), Danish slov (“dull, torpid, drowsy”), Swedish *slo (“slack, lazy”), Icelandiv (“dim-witted, slow”).

Again, in the etymological analysis of the word, it is not taking in cosidetation the key of the European languages, the Albanian language.
The etymology of word:
Forms and meanings.
1) [s] word-forming element meaning "not" in Albanian language
2) luaj/move, leviz/move, loz/play
Etymology:
Slow comes from s'lun/does not move, s'leviz, s'loz, s'lova (cham)
Proof of the origin from the Albanian language are the words luaj/move, loj/gajmr, loz/play, lova/move.
How interesting the Cham word is also for *loz is *lova/move, play word;
The Chams say:
-lóva a dance for loza a dance
-lova(loza) a chess piece
The teacher told me to leave the classroom and I *slova/didn't move
So it's the alphabet letter L, which means the movement, the motion which I've explained in previous posts, and it comes from the leg pictogram. The letter L originate from a the pictogram of leg which has formed the one syllable word leg. It comes from an:
Leg> L gje/"L thing"
The word *slow is another evidence that the Albanian, English, Germanic and Nordic languages come from a written language before the Greek and Latin languages.
