Etymology

Two possible etymologies:

from Proto-Albanian *xāljā, from earlier *ksān and suffix -jā, from pre-Albanian *s-keh₂n, metathesis of Proto-Indo-European *kh₂en, oblique of *kóh₂r̥ (“wax”) (compare Greek κηρός (kirós), Lithuanian korỹs (“id”)).^[1] The change of *n to l is irregular.
from Proto-Albanian *skāla, further related to hollë (see there for more),^[2] although admittedly very difficult to reconcile semantically.
