hollë

Uncertain:

• Perhaps from Proto-Albanian *haula, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eu-l-om (“a hollow, channel, tube”), with the laryngeal unusually preserved. If so, cognate to Ancient Greek αὐλός (aulós, “hollow tube, flute, haulm”) and Old Norse (huann-)jóli (“hollow stalk, stem”).^[1] The original sense would be better preserved in holli (“hollow”). Note also huall (“honeycomb”) versus Lithuanian avilỹs, aulỹs, Latvian aũlis and Proto-Slavic *ulьjь, all meaning “beehive”.
• According to Orel, from Proto-Albanian *skāla, from Proto-Indo-European *skel- (“to cut”); cognate to Lithuanian skeliù and Lithuanian skélti (“to split, devide”), English shell.^[2] See halë.
