Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *h₂lot-eh₂, an isogloss that only appears to be found in Germanic and Hittite. Anatolian cognates include Luwian [script needed] (ḫalta, ‘to call’), Hittite [script needed] (kaka-) (halzai, ‘to invoke, recite, call out’), both from Proto-Anatolian *halt-. Not related to *hlōaną (‘to shout’).
