Etymology 2
Ačaṙyan leaves the origin open.
According to J̌ahukyan perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *əliyo-, from the root *Heh₃l- (“to bend”), among the cognates note especially Welsh olwyn (“wheel”).
Noun
ալի • (ali)
- The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include:
- axle
- millstone
- pulley
Usage notes
- The word is a hapax legomenon.
- The nominative *ալ (*al) reconstructed by Nor baṙgirkʻ haykazean lezui is probably wrong.
