Etymology 2
From alongside, , from ,  (“saddlecloth”, also , but in a copy from the 14th c.). Further origin uncertain. In view of 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, all (also) “cloth” or “saddlecloth”, some relation with these words seems very likely. It is unclear, however, whether this relation is original or secondary. The modern -a- is from interaction with etymology 1, probably reinforced by dialectal (near-)mergers before dark -l-.
