Meaning: 1 forge, foundry 2 country house, cabin, cottage 3 shepherd's hut 4 tent

Comments: Ol(h)a is an element in numerous place names. Semantic development seems to have been ‘hearth, forge’ > ‘heated room’ > ‘cabin’, etc. (For typology cf. Eng. stove ~ Norw. stova (stue) ‘cottage, hut; (living-) room’, Swed. stuga ‘cottage, cabin’, Ger. Stube ‘room’ (orig. ‘heated room’), etc.) The meaning ‘forge’ has been extended to ‘factory’ in modern Bsq.

Sino-Caucasian etymology :

Proto-Sino-Caucasian: *ɦwVla- ~ *ɦwVɫa-
Meaning: hearth, heated hut
Comments and references : The PEC form looks like an old compound, perhaps *ɦwVla-qē < *ɦwVla-qǝ̆lV̆ (*qǝ̆lV̆ ‘house, hut’), with the second lateral dropped by dissimilation. In any case, only the PEC segment *ɦwVla- is compared with Bsq *oɫha. Etymological comparison suggested by John Bengtson.

North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦwVlaq_ē ( ~ -ɫ-)
Meaning: hearth
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The original trisyllabic structure is well preserved in Lak.; other languages treat it like a disyllabic structure *ɦwlăq_ē. Note that PD *hanq:i 'hearth', however similar, is not related and goes back to PEC *ɦnărG_wī 'house' (q.v.): perhaps we should rather speak of a merger of these two roots in Darg., because of their phonetic and semantic similarity.
