Where this word comes from
According to Pokorny, the word comes from Illyrian (as represented in Italy by Messapic) and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel-. Compare Ancient Greek φαλός (phalós, “white”), Sanskrit भाल (bhāla, “splendour”), Old Armenian բալ (bal, “fog”) and Old English bǣl (English bale). Almost identical to baltë. Thought to be from the same Illyrian substrate
