кала

See also: қала, ҡала, каля, and кӏала

Chuvash edit

Etymology edit

Possibly inherited from Proto-Turkic *kele- (“to say”), however such a verb is very poorly attested and it instead may be a borrowing from Mongolic *kelele- (“to speak”).[1][2]

Cognate with Salar kele and Tatar кэлеу (kelew); compare also Mongolian хэлэх (xelex).
