Where this word comes from

The term may be compared to Sanskrit कुल्व (kulvá, “bald”), itself from Proto-Indo-European *kl̥H-wó-s. However, the sequence *-lw- may yield Latin -ll-, which—according to De Vaan—indicates that the Latin term must derive from earlier *kalVwos, itself from earlier *kl̥H-e/o-wo-.
