In Avar there is an adverb ħála-ƛ: / ħáli-c:a / ħáli-q:e 'slowly, with effort' - which may reflect the same EC root; but synchronically it is now reinterpreted as a form from ħal 'state of things; effort, power' ( < Arab. ħāl). 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.).
