What's the Difference Between the Old English and the Modern English Word?

The original indo european word bell meant burn, flash or shine. As result, it's the root of the word black, which refers to something burnt or blackened. The same thing happened with white? It began as quintos in the original Indo-Germanic language. In old english, the k sound shifted to an h sound under grimm's law,. And we ended up with the modern french and spanish word for white.
