Where this word comes from
From Proto-Finnic *kalja (cognate with Estonian kali). According to one theory, possibly borrowed from an early Indo-European language; compare Proto-Indo-European *h₂el-u-t- (“beer”) (Proto-Slavic *olъ, Proto-Germanic *alu, Old Prussian alu, Old Armenian աւղի (awłi)), *h₂al-ew-yo-, but this is uncertain. If this etymology is true, then akin to olut, a later borrowing from Baltic or Germanic.
