Etymology
Possibly from. considers it to be a prefixed form of a root *lak, found unprefixed as and with a loosely attached prefix as *ᵃkə-lak, preserved in some southern varieties, such as 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. In the new reconstruction by, the connection to is still implied (cf. ), but the comparison to the forms in the southern varieties no longer holds. compare it with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and suggest that the comparisons are more compatible with an 🇨🇬 reconstruction such as *klˁak.

Alternatively, reconstructs the 🇨🇬 minimally as *kâk < *klak and posits an  origin, comparing it to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, both from 🇨🇬.
