Is it a centum-like reflex parallel to satem *zolto, *zelenъ? Or should a possibility of "plain" velar *gʰel- PIE root be considered (as in Vasmer)? 188.16.53.21 21:41, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

East Indian e.g. hɔlidda (Bengali), hɔlɔde: (Odia), Dardic e.g. zehrč (Khowar) look suspiciously close with the same meaning - possibly a later derivation from Indian languages via Central Asia? 2A02:2454:8AA5:500:8754:C8AA:A575:C658 18:01, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * c.f. also Sanskrit हरिद्रा/haridra:, presumably the source for both EA words, which is not nearly as close. 2A02:2454:8AA5:500:8754:C8AA:A575:C658 18:04, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
