Proto-Slavic
editEtymology
editUnclear:
- Native origin has been hypothesized (by Miklošič, Sobolevsky) on the basis of internal similarity with Proto-Slavic *xolstъ (“single”), *xolpъ (“youngling, brat; serf”), *paxolъ (“servant”), possibly *xoliti (“to tend”) and/or *oxolьje (“affluence”). Trubačev (ESSJa) tentatively derives them from a common *xol- + *-kъ, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ksel- (“to scrape”). For the k-extension, compare *di-kъ, *per-kъ, etc.
- Uhlenbeck suggests a possible borrowing from Gothic 𐌷𐌰𐌻𐌺𐍃 (halks, “vain, futile”), which has been dismissed by Lehmann.
