Proto-Indo-European *kelh₁- ‎(“to call, shout”)
Should this tie back to Proto-Indo-European *kelh₁- ‎(“to call, shout”) ?
 * According to Grimm's Law it should not Leasnam (talk) 13:52, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

The reference to Grimm's Law is not specific. If voiceless plosive /k/ assumes migration to x, what about the following?

From Proto-Indo-European *kelh₁- ‎(“to call, shout”). Cognate with Latin clāmō, clārus, classis, concilium, Ancient Greek καλέω ‎(kaléō). calō ‎(present infinitive calāre, perfect active calāvī, supine calātum); first conjugation I call, announce solemnly, call out.

Or, *kelh₁- would need a prior /g/; yet *kelh₁- exists in PIE; and, calō is a Latin product of it


 * Not sure what you are trying to accomplish. The PGmc derivatives of PIE *kelh₁- are, , and . Seems pretty cut and dry. Leasnam (talk) 05:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

It is a question of the PIE connection to "call", of which kalzōną does not appear strong
