nounmasculinea-stemheroUncertain. Perhaps related to Proto-Slavic *xvala (‘praise, thanks’). Kluge suggests a derivation from a Proto-Indo-European *kal- (‘hard’), see also Old Church Slavonic калити (kaliti, ‘to harden, cool’), Old Irish calath (‘hard’), Sanskrit कलिका (kalikā, ‘bud’). Kroonen, comparing Old Irish caur (‘warrior, hero’), reconstructs a quasi-Indo-European substrate term *karut- from which both the Celtic and Germanic borrowed from (note that the Celtic descendant of this root, *karuts-, is not to be confused with Proto-Celtic *kawaros, which collapsed onto the same form in Old Irish); whether Tocharian B kālśke (‘youth, young brahmin’) is connected is unclear.
