*selh₂-to calm, quiet, be favorablesōlorto comfort, console
adji-stemhappy, fortunatekind, goodTraditionally derived by Pokorny from Proto-Indo-European *selh₂- (‘to calm, quiet, be favorable’), and compared with Latin sōlor (‘to comfort, console’). This comparison does not seem to be maintained by later researchers, including Orel, who instead take the word as related to *saljaną (‘to offer, sell’).
