Reference for Turk. balɪk and PIE *(s)kʷálos?
Hi there, I saw that you've mentioned 🇨🇬 as comparable with 🇨🇬. Have you read/heard this somewhere?

In principle, 🇨🇬 and its near homophone *bālɨk ~ *balɨk (wall, fortress) are sometimes conjectured to be derivatives from a root *bāl- (to cling, to hold in one place) possibly akin to 🇨🇬 (note the different qualities of -a- in these terms, though) and various sparsely attested terms for mud or ditch, dam. It's interesting to compare this hypothesis with the hypothesis for borrowed/Wanderwort origin, so it'll be beneficial if you could share references. 2.217.103.95 14:41, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
