Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From *ula + *-ica, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *aul-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewlós.
Baltic cognates include Old Prussian aulis (“shin”).
Indo-European cognates include Ancient Greek αὐλός (aulós, “pipe, flute”), αὐλών (aulṓn, “hollow, channel, strait”); Low German ōl, аul (Westphalian); Old Armenian ուղի (ułi, “road, way, route; journey; passage”).
It may be a cognate of Latvian iela and Ancient Greek αὐλή (aulḗ).
