Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *ḱHl-eh₂ (“stone”), which, if correct, is also the source of Old Armenian սալ (sal, “stone, rock”). This theory was tentatively favored by Mayrhofer, albeit with strong reservations,^[1][2] and has since come to be favored by Armenologists including Martirosyan.^[3]
