Etymology
Cognate with 🇨🇬,, 🇨🇬. Pokorny (p. 32) proposes a derivation from (= ), from, whence 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. Kroonen, however, doubts this, adding that “[g]iven the root noun inflection, it is conceivable that the word was adopted from a local non-I[ndo-]E[uropean] language by Germanic and Baltic after their arrival in Europe” (2013:22 s.v. *alh-).
