The close IE comparanda are Ancient Greek αἶκλοι (aîkloi, ‘the angles of the missile’) and αἰχμή (aikhmḗ, ‘point of a spear, spear’) < Proto-Greek *aiksmā from PIE *h₂eyḱ-sm-eh₂, and possibly Latin ĭcōBeekes 2010: 38, 45–46de Vaan 2008: 295Kroonen 2013: 9. The Ancient Greek comparanda point to a *-ló- formation; without the Greek comparanda, the Proto-Germanic form could be an instrument noun formation in *-tló- (see, for instance, Kroonen 2017). A European substrate explanation is also possible.
