Etymology

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *ḱHl-eh₂ (stone), which, if correct, is also the source of Old Armenian սալ (sal, stone, rock). This theory was tentatively favored by Mayrhofer, albeit with strong reservations,[1][2] and has since come to be favored by Armenologists including Martirosyan.[3]
