In modern Dutch, "polsen" means wrists. Might the VM word be related?
Totally agree. It's not German. These forms are limited to places like Saxony, to the east of Saxony, parts of coastal Normandy. It's Germanic and was blended with German in some places. If it's not north-Germanic then the "-en" would not be interpreted as an article.
Polsen is familiar to me as the place one takes a pulse and in Spanish, Norwegian, and numerous languages comes from Latin (I think).
You might be onto something. palsen. Pulse (wrist). I never thought of that.
