PROTO: *ḥalag/k-
MEANING: (cotton) clothes
NOTES: Scarce data. Phonetics unreliable. Any connection with Sem *ḫulāḳ- 'old or torn clothes' (Akk ḫulāḳu, Hbr ḥalūḳ, Aram ḥalūḳā, Arab ḫalūḳ, Soq ḥalaḳ)? The Sem word may be derived from Sem *ḫVlVḳ- 'be torn'. In any case the correspondence of velars is irregular.
