Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/golъ
Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Probably cognate with Proto-Germanic *kalwaz, Latin calvus (“bald, hairless”), presumably from Proto-Indo-European *golH-o-s, from *gelH- (“bald, naked”) (reconstructed as *gal- in older literature).[1] Vasmer, Georgiev additionally link it to Latvian gā̀ls (“ice-smooth, slick”), gàla (“frost, thin layer of ice”) from Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“cold”) (cf. Proto-Slavic *golъtь, *golotь (“hoarfrost”)).[2][3]
See the literature for further hypotheses.
