"ہلی" meaning in All languages combined

See ہلی on Wiktionary

Noun [Brahui]

Forms: ہُلِّی [canonical], hullī [romanization]
Etymology: Uncertain. Several hypotheses have been put forth: * Burrow proposes a relation to Tamil இவுளி (ivuḷi, “horse”). The Tamil initial ivu- is difficult to reconcile with Brahui (h)u-, and no such contraction is attested in other cognate sets. Krishnamurti does not mention this etymology in his work, perhaps considering it too unlikely. * Emeneau instead derives it from Proto-Dravidian *uḷ- by connecting it with Tamil உளை (uḷai, “mane of horse or lion, man's hair”), proposing that the Brahui term etymologically means "that which possesses/is characterised by a mane", i.e. a horse. However, this means cognates are only found in Tamil and Malayalam, despite the implied pan-Dravidian age of the term if we suppose descent in both Tamil-Malayalam and Brahui. * Bray originally suggested a connection to Tamil குதிரை (kutirai, “horse”), from Proto-Dravidian *kutiray, but later scholars (Burrow, Emeneau, McAlpin) have rejected this etymology.
