German meaning: `ruhen'??
Material: Nach Persson Wortf. 743 wird eine idg. Wz. el- `ruhen' und Base *elī̆- mit folgenden Beispielen verteidigt: ai. iláyati `steht still, kommt zur Ruhe' (iḷáyati soll fehlerhafte Schreibung sein), an-ilaya-ḥ `ruhelos, rastlos', wozu wohl ai. alasás `träge, müde, stumpf' (zum s-Stamm *alas- `Müdigkeit' wie rajasás : rájas-; nach Uhlenbeck Wb. 15 gehört jedoch alasá-ḥ als a-lasa- `nicht munter' zu lásati, s. las- `gierig'), lit. alsà `Müdigkeit', ilstù, il̃sti `müde werden', ilsiúos, ilsė́tis `ruhen', ãt-ilsis `Ausruhen'. Die zweisilbige Basis zeige gr. ἐλῑνύω `ruhe, raste, bin unwirksam, zögere, höre auf'. Die gesamte Konstruktion ist sehr zweifelhaft; vgl. über ἐλῑνύω lei-2 `sich ducken' und lēi- `nachlassen'.

Proto-Dravidian : *alá-
Meaning : to suffer (= to be weary)
Proto-Kolami-Gadba : *ala- Proto-North Dravidian : *al-g- Notes : Cf. also Kui alāṛi 'fatigue, distress from fatigue, exhaustion'. See the South Dravidian entry for the possibility of separating SDR *ala- 'suffer' from SDR *alai- 'wander, shake; caus. harass, annoy'. In this respect it is interesting to consider some of the syncopated/non-syncopated doublets given by Burrow & Emeneau in the same entry: cf. Kui alāṛi vs. laha 'languor, laziness'; Kur. algā vs. layākoyā, etc. Of course, a final judgement is different to give based on lack of definitive knowledge on the rules of vowel reduction in Gondwan (not to mention North Dravidian, where initial l- is exceedingly rare in the first place). // Present in 5/6 branches.

Tamil derivates : alam distress, pain, misery; alappu confusion of mind; alantalai distress, vexation, confusion; alantai trouble; alantōn_ one who is in distress; alati-kulati disorder, confusion; alaŋku (alaŋki-) to be agitated in mind, troubled; alacu (alaci-) to suffer, be distressed, be exhausted, become weary; alamaru (alamari-) to be agitated, distressed; alamala (-pp-, -nt-) to be confused, dazed, be anxious; alampal vexation, trouble; alavu (alavi-) to be troubled in mind; n. confusion, perturbation; alavalai hasty action, confusion of mind, distress; alu (-pp-, -tt-) to be weary, tired by overwork or care; aluppu weariness, exhaustion; aluval business, affair; alai (-v-, -nt-) to be harassed, wander in weariness, (-pp-, -tt-) to harass, vex, afflict, annoy; n. oppression; alaicu (alaici-) to be lazy; alaiccal weariness, vexation; alaippu disturbance, distress, trouble; alaivu mental agitation, trouble, distress; allal affliction, distress; allā (-pp-, -nt-) to suffer, be in distress; n. distress; allāṭu (allāṭi-) to suffer

Tulu derivates : alepuni, aleyuni, alevuni to be fatigued; alepāvuni to cause to tire, fatigue; alụmbe suffering; alubaŋga vexation, trouble; albe thin, weak, lean
Notes : In Tamil there exists evidence for at least three bisyllabic stems with similar semantics: ala-, alu-, alai-. The variant with -u- is the least well represented of the three and may be secondary (e. g., a back-formation from aluppu, which itself would be a reduced dialectal variant of *alappu). The other two, however, both find parallels outside of the Tamil-Malayalam area (cf. the Kan. opposition ala - ale), and the question is whether they go back to the same root or not. According to the general policy of DEDR, we would have to judge in favour of the former; in this particular case, however, even Burrow & Emeneau note that "these etyma and those s. v. Ta. alaŋku seem to have started from two roots with different basic meanings: suffer and move, shake". It seems, therefore, reasonable to trace *ala- back to a stem with the basic meaning 'suffer', and *alai- back to 'move, shake, dangle', with a whole bunch of derived forms (see *ala-ŋ-, *ala-ṭ-, etc.). For the same reason of numerous possible contaminations, however, that Burrow & Emeneau also complain about, we do not separate the forms in this database entry. Number in DED : 0236

The Avar form has penetrated into many nearby languages (cf. Cham. hali-baχa, Tind. haljoχa / hajloχa > Inkh. halijaχin 'slowly', Lak. ħalliχ-s:a, Khosr. haIlliχ id.).
