Origin: IE [Indo-European] [639] *kʷel- turn (around)
Etymology: The themat. presens πέλομαι, -ω agrees formally exactly with Lat. colō, -ere (from *quelō: in-quil-īnus, Es-quil-iae) build upon, inhabit, attend, honour, with Skt. cárati, -te move around, wander, drive (on the meadow), graze and with Alb. siell turn around, turn, bring: IE *kʷélō. An enlargement of it is Toch. B klautk-, A lotk- turn around, turn, become (v. Windekens Orbis 11, 195 f.); s. τελευτή. Because of the maintenance of the π- before ε πέλομαι must be Aeolic (Schwyzer 300, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 114); the otherwise to be expected τ- is seen in τέλομαι, τέλλομαι, τελέθω, τέλος (s. vv.). The old connection with cattle-breeding and agriculture is found also in Greek, where the meaning of the verb further soon faded, in compp. as αἰ-πόλος, βου-κόλος (s. vv.), τρί-πολος. With the deverbative πολέω agrees formally Alb. kiell bring, carry (*kʷolei̯ō). The formal identity of πωλέομαι and the Skt. causative cāráyati is secondary. The zero grade themat. aor. ἔ-πλ-ετο is isolated. -- To the primary verb was, esp. in Latin and Indo-Iranian, built a series of new nouns. Old are ἀμφίπολος (s. v.) = Lat. anculus and several words for car, wagon (s. κύκλος). Note still περίπολος m. patrolling guardian (Epich., Att.) = Skt. (Ved.) paricará- m. servant; on the accen (Greek innovation?) Schwyzer 379 a. 381. The regular o-derivation πόλος may have an agreement in Lat. colus -ūs or -ī distaff; the comparison is however not unproblematic (s. W.-Hofmann s. v.). Also Toch. B kele navel could be identical wit it; diff. v. Windekens Orbis 11, 602 (Ural. LW [loanword]). -- Further forms w. lit. in WP. 1, 514ff., Pok. 639f., W.-Hofmann s. colō and collus, Mayrhofer s. cárati; further also Ernout-Meillet s. colō w. very important remarks. -- Here further πάλαι, πάλιν, τῆλε (s. v.). Cf. also ἐμπολή and ἔπιπλα.
