German meaning: (vorderes od. hinteres) Ende, Anfang; anfangen, beginnen
Finnish: alka- 'anfangen, beginnen', alku 'Anfang, Beginn'
Estonian: alga- 'anfangen, begründen', alg (gen. alu) 'Anfang'
Saam (Lapp): aĺge- lg- 'begin to, set to work upon' (N), aĺkē- (L), āilke- (Kld.), ailke- (A) 'anfangen', aĺgo -lg- 'beginning, origin' (N), aĺkō (L), ālk (T), alk (Not. A) 'Anfang' [possibly < Finn.; here perhaps *vōlkē- 'go away'?]
Khanty (Ostyak): alǝŋ (V) 'Anfang; Ende', otǝŋ (DN) 'Ende, Endstück', alǝŋ (O) 'vorderes od. hinteres Ende' ( > Mans. ā̊liŋ), ulǝŋt- (V), otǝŋt- (DN), ɔлǝŋt- (Kaz.) 'anfangen, beginnen'

K. Reshetnikov's notes: For the meaning of Lapp. *vōlkē- 'to go away' cf. engl. to start 'to begin / to depart'. However, this Lapp. word can be alternatively compared with Finn. valkama 'wharf, harbour' (Lehtiranta 152). The Proto-Lapp. stem represented by such forms as Lul. al'kē- 'anfangen', al'kō 'Anfang', al'ge- 'begin to, set to work upon' etc. is borrowed from Finnic.

Kartvelian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Kartvelian: *xal- / *xl-
Russian meaning: быть близко, среди, около
English meaning: to be near, among
Georgian: xl-; a-xl-os 'near', a-xal-i 'new'
Megrel: xol-
Svan: m-ax-e (?)
Svan meaning (Rus.): новый
Svan meaning (Eng.): new
Laz: xol-
Notes and references: ЭСКЯ 260, EWK 544-545. Значение "новый" в груз. (и в сванском, если сванская форма сюда относится) позволяет предположить исходное значение типа "передний край" для ПК (отсюда "быть с краю, близко"). В таком случае возможно сопоставление с ностр. *HalV "передний край" (урал. *alV-, *alka-, алт. *āla-, см. ОСНЯ 1, 244); ностратическую форму с учетом картвельских данных следует тогда восстанавливать как *xalV.
