Etymology 1 edit
From an imitative reduplicated root, perhaps ultimately Proto-Indo-European *(H)ulu(l)- (“to cry out, howl; owl”). Compare Sanskrit उलूक (ulūka, “owl”), sometimes also compared to Hittite 𒄷𒉿𒆷𒀸 (ḫu-wa-la-aš, “a kind of bird: owl?”)[1][2] and Proto-Germanic *uwwalǭ (“owl”),[3] though these may all be independent onomatopoeias.
More at ululō (“howl, screech”).
