Ancient Greek
Etymology
Most plausibly from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wes- ( “ pass the night ” ) (> *h₂ews- by Schwebeablaut ) + *-leh₂ : it has been suggested that Tocharian A olar ( “ companion ” ) and Tocharian B aulāre are cognate and contain the same suffix. Related to αὖλις ( aûlis ) , ἰαύω ( iaúō ) , ἄεσα ( áesa ) , as well as Old Armenian աւթ ( awtʻ , “ place to spend the night ” ) .[ 1] Despite similar phonetics, apparently unrelated to αὐλός ( aulós , “ hollow tube, pipe, flute ” ) .[ 2]
