Etymology
The origin is uncertain. A possible connection with Latin colus (“spinning wheel”) and Ancient Greek κλώθω (klṓthō, “to spin (thread)”) has been proposed by J̌ahukyan and Olsen. If this is correct, then it may ultimately be from Proto-Indo-European *kʷōlh₁-, a vriddhi-derivate of *kʷelh₁- (“to turn”).[1][2] On the other hand, Martirosyan considers կուղ (kuł, “cord, thread”) a doublet of this word, and explains the initial alternation kʿ : k as pointing to a foreign source.[3]
