Etymology
Of unclear origin.[1]
Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *bel- (“to dig, cut off?”) and connected with Irish bealach (“way, road”), Welsh bwlch (“gap, pass”), and Old Armenian պեղեմ (pełem, “to dig, hollow”).[2][3] However, Mayrhofer is skeptical of this derivation, and prefers to take the word as a Dravidian borrowing (as per Burrow, Kuiper, and Turner), comparing Malayalam വിള്ളല് (viḷḷalŭ, “crack, cavity”) and Tamil விள்ளு (viḷḷu, “to burst open”)[4][5]
