Proto-Semitic QALÀ --- *KĂLĔ Indo-European

 

 

This similarity is rather direct and clear. Only the Latin verb is intransitive , while the others are transitive.

 

 

Note:
  • Greek "khliaino" has a suffix "-ain " as a causative structure , plus a suffix "o" for the first personal singular in the present tense. The basic part remains "KH L I" of "khliao", that corresponds with the Hebrew verb "qal’à". Even the vowel "I", used by the Greeks is found in a number of coniugations of the Hebrew verb , such as "qaliti" that says "I heated up". The final part "-TI" is a suffix that indicates the first person.

 

Note:
  • Latin "calére" in litteral sense is used for the being hot of water and food. The word "caldaria" stands also for "cooking-pot". Modern Italian "clado" comes via Vulgar Latin from Latin "calidus".

 

Note:
  • Proto-Semitic. This root is seen in Aramaic and Syriac "ק ל א, qelà = , to burn (A); to roast, parch (S)". Arabic "qalā" and Ethiopian "qalawa" mean "he roasted, fried" and Akkadian "qalū" says "to burn, consume". This root was probably in use in Proto-Semitic : "*ק ל , Q L ".

 

Note:
  • Indo-European There is not much general spreading seen for this root, that probably had a form "*K Ă L Ĕ-".

     

    Proto-Germanic knows various suppositions, that begin with "GH L". We tend to exclude from the information the many words that say "tepid", like German "lau", and that have no initial "H" before the "L". So we consider Old Saxon "halōian = to burn", Old English "hlēow = warm, sunny" and Old Norse "hly = warmth" in which the "Y" is pronounced between "Ī" and "Ü". We see in the first two cases that the first vowel has disappeared on account of the accent on the second vowel, after the consonant "L". Proto-Germanic may have had "*GH Ă L Ĕ-".

     

    Baltic has a hypothesis "tshil-", with support from Lithuanian "shilù, shìlti = to become warm". This root is then used to indicate the name of the warm month of August "shìlius". The initial "TSH" or "SH" corresponds regularly with Indo-European and Germanic " K ".

     

    Celtic offers a Cymric "clyd = warm"
