Etymology

Several hypotheses have been developed about the origin of the word:

1. A derivation from Proto-Mordvinic *alə (“lower”).

2. According to Keresztes, the word comes from Proto-Mordvinic *al, from Proto-Finno-Ugric *olɜ (in which case it would be a doublet of уло (ulo, “chin”)).

3. According to Riho Grünthal, from Pre-Mordvinic *(v)ōli, borrowed from Proto-Baltic *(v)ōlā, whence Latvian uolà (“rock; limestone; whetstone”), uolis (“flint”), Lithuanian ōla (“a small round stone; flint, rock; egg”).
