Etymology
Unclear. Perhaps:
- Deverbal of *kъliti (“to stick”) + *-ějь (cf. Slovene kəliti), from tentative Proto-Indo-European *kol-. Possible cognates include Ancient Greek κόλλᾰ (kólla) and Middle Low German helen.
- Borrowed from Proto-West Germanic *klaij (“clay”)[2], from Proto-Indo-European *gleh₁y- (whence Proto-Slavic *glьjь (“mud, sludge”)). Rejected by most Slavists.[3]
