HOLLOW [K]HaLaL
Het-Lamed-Lamed
HOLL-OL
חלל [HLL]
ROOTS: Old
English holh is
HOLLOW; hol is a HOLE. The IE “root”
sounds fine, kel,
but its meaning ("to cover, conceal, save") leaves a gaping logical
rift. חור
[K]HOAR or חר [K]HoaR is a hole – II Kings 12:10.
Shift liquids Resh/R to L.
חלול [K]HaLOOL and חלל [K]HaLAL mean
"hollow." The latter term means "space" and
"vacuum" as well. חלל KHoLahL is "pierced through" (Ezekiel 32:26),
חלון [K]HaLOAN is that hole in the wall we call a
window (Genesis 26:8), חליל K[H]aLeeYL
is a reed flute with HOLES that key notes (I Kings 1:40)
and חלחל [K]HeeL[K]HaiL is to perforate.
For other hollow aspects of geology, מחלה Mi[K]HeeLaH is a cave (Isaiah 2:19). A body empty of soul is a חלל [K]HaLaL (corpse, now a HULL); a mind empty
of spirituality is חלוני [K]HiLOANeeY (secular).
קלע QaL[A]h is to carve out (wood – I Kings 6:29) BD.
כרה KahRaH, is to dig out a
well or pit (Genesis 26:25. A HOLLOW can be natural; this harsher,
man-made guttural-liquid emptiness can
be followed at "AGRICULTURALIST." קור QOOR, too dig, as a well (II Kings 19:24) . ח-ר Het-Resh
plowing and scratching terms are at entries like “HEARSE.”
Another “cavity” words reverses our guttural-liquid: לע LoGHah (crater,
throat – Proverbs 23:2… good for words
like LAKE
or GULLeT -- see “LAGOON”).
חור Het-Vav-Resh is about a hole or gaps. So is reversing to רוח ReVaK[H] (open space -- Genesis 32:17). Getting to the
bottom of this “hole” below, is another reversed guttural-liquid: ריק RaiYQ
(empty). Your excavation will not be for ריק ReeYQ (for nothing, in vain) -- Isaiah 49:4. רק RahQ (nothing
but, only, except) is a designed opposite; there’s nothing in the ark
save the two tablets [of law] -- II Chronicles 18:15.
גל GahL, is a (high) pile, while הר HahR is a mountain [see entries: HILL,
OROLOGY]. The opposite is our חור K[H]OAR, hole, and חלל [K]HaLahL, hollow. The Edenic guttural-liquid root means
both amassed mass and missing mass.
BRANCHES: Akkadian harāru is to hollow out [SW] For
HOLLOW, the German adjective is hohl,
the noun is Hohle. A
HULL, husk or pod of a plant is Hülse in German; there is no added S
for an envelope, sheath or wrapper: Hül le.
Hawaiian kaele (empty, hollow) is unusual for retaining Edenic ח-ל as
harsher Het/K[H] and Lamed/L.חור [K]HOAR or [K]HoaR (hole) is one of several guttural-liquid
“hole” words. L and R are
interchangeable liquids, so HOLE may be as much from חור [K]HoaR as from חלל K[H]aLaL. French carie (cavity) prefers the Het-Resh holey sub-root.
The Latin translation of חור Het-Vav-Resh is caverna. A gap in Igbo (Nigeria) is an ohere. The
Japanese cave is horaana.
Other Japanese H-R
hole words include horeru (to be hollowed) and
horu
(dig(.
Het-Resh emptiness is seen at “CRACK.”
A physical hole or vacuum isחרות [K]HayROOT (engraved—Exodus 32:16 -- carved
out, “freed” of its sculptor’s block) in spatial terms. This is why חרות [K]HayROOT also means freedom. Uhuru is freedom in Swahili
(as someTrekkies know), while Japanese hiraita means open.
Not linked to HOLLOW is Greek koilos (hollow), the given source of CEILING, -CELE, -COEL, and
-COELE. (See a liquid-guttural source
for CEILING at “RACK.”)
A chasm in Manx is charvaal.
[SG]
The forms of
“open” in Bengali, khul/
kholo/ khulun resemble
Edenic ח-ל Het-Lamed, even חלון [K]HaLOAN (window – Ava Miedzinski). Windows were HOLES
for air and light.
Of the
many cognates of HOLLOW at IE kel,
only CELL, CELLAR, COLEUS, HALL, HELL, HOLE (see above), HOLSTER, HULL and
(VAL)HALLA might be relevant. Add the suffix -COELE, from Greek koilos (hollow). KL
reversals like LAG(OON), LAKE and LOCH (whence the Scottish Loch Ness Monster) are large cavities in the earth that recall
Hebrew words such as לע LoaGH (crater) and (shifting liquids) ריק RaiYQ (empty). A Hungarian "hole" is a lyuk. A Polish gap is a luka.
The HULL of a ship is the חלל [K]HaLaL, empty space on the bottom. Hull
means “hole” in Norwegian. In Danish hal is a hole; the Swedish is hal.
Above we noted the added S in
German Hülse, a
HULL, husk pod or empty capsule… leading to the likelihood that the initial S of SHELL is hollow and non-historic. Here is yet another S added to
an H or guttural root. The IE “scholars”
want to have SHELL and SCALE (husk) a cognate of “scalpel” and “sculpt” under a devised IE
“root” skell-1 also kel- (to cut). But empty SHELLS do not cut it
logically. To their credit, they admit that the S may not be valid when they
add “also kel- .. (See “SCOOP” for the more common added
initial-S after harsher gutturals.
Noting the (typical) reversal of our ח-ל Het-Lamed (guttural-liquid) root with the
synonymous ל-ע Lamed-Ayin of לע LoaGH (crater –
see above), explains why both Loch or Hohle (L-guttural or guttural-L) are words for
hole, hollow or burrow in German, and that CELL, HOLE and LACUNA (any gap, pit
or lake) and LAKE are actually related.
The Finnish "hole", reika, similarly reverses KR. The
CHEROKEE Indians are "cave people," so this Muskhogean word may be
related too. Japanese horeru
is to be hollowed. An IE “root” that does mean "hole" and
"cavity" is aulo. It gives
us ALVEOLUS, CAROL and (HYDR)AULIC.
Another man-made HOLLOW, like HALL
(large, covered room of a palace, etc.), is GALLERY (portico). Late Latin galena has no known origin and may be
related to היכל HaYKHahL (hall, "temple" in Hosea 8:14). The Temple in
Jerusalem included just such a colonnade. Kuil
is a temple in Indonesian. JACAL, from Nahuatl or Aztec, is also a large room
of upright poles filled in with wicker. The Khaf in היכל HaYKHal may have
been softened or dropped – see “HALL.”
Perhaps the IGLOO is the HALL that an
Eskimo builds with snow. Baruch Cohen from Rehovot adds that its roundness
indicates the input of עגול [E]GOOL (round).
The Assyro-Babylonian cognate for
Hebrew היכל HaYKHal is ekallu. A related HOLLOW home is the אהל OaHeL (tent – Genesis
18:1). A Hawaiian house or building is a
hale. LEE and LEEWARD are from Old English hleo (shelter). Other holes
are in entries like “cavity.” Other related holes include German hohl,
Latin coelo and Welsh cylla. ]BD[
The IE “root” aulo (hole, cavity) allegedly gave
Latin the alvus (belly) and English the ALVEOLUS; and allegedly gave Greek aulos (pipe,
flute) and English CAROL and HYDRAULIC.
Our ח-ל Het-Lamed root for holes
in a hollow stick that makes a flute gave Edenic the חליל [K]HaLiYL (flute – Isaiah 5:12), as well this invented “root” from a
silent ח Het plusל Lamed/L. The Finnish flute or pipe
is a huilu. A Finnish hole is kolo. [Jack Stein
McKeteli] An inversion of the hollowחליל [K]HaLiYL (flute) might be Ukrainian lulka (a smoking pipe).
There
is an inversion of the guttural-liquid of חלל K[H]aLAL, the (hollow) Edenic corpse in Danish:
lig,
Dutch: lijk,
German: Leiche.
Icelandic: lík,
Kurdish: kelex,
Latvian: līķis,
Norwegian: lik, Old
English: līċ and
Swedish: lik. The Vietnamese “hole” is lỗ.
Hungarian corpse, hulla, resembles the “hollow”,
soul-less Edenic corpse: חלל [K]HaLahL. [RW] Sanskrit hal is to scoop out, like כרה KHaRaH, to dig (a well), excavate. Jānalā (window) may be an M132 of חלון K[H]aLOAN (window).
A QUILL is a hollow shaft of a feather, spine of a porcupine or a hollow
shaft for the meshing of gears.
No source older than Middle English is known for this form of חלל K[H]aLaL.
