Etymology edit

Of unknown origin.

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “There are phonetic and semantic similarities to Ashokan Prakrit *𑀔𑁄𑀮𑁆𑀮𑁆 (*kholl, “to open”) (whence Hindi खोलना (kholnā, “to open”)) and Prakrit [script needed] (*khōla, “cavity, hollow”) (whence Hindi खोर (khor, “cave”)). Perhaps these are related? The phonetic variation of *khōla and its relatives suggests a borrowing from a local language like Dravidian or Munda.”
