→ Catalan: agàl·loc

→ English: agalloch

A loanword from an eastern language, likely utimately borrowed from Old Tamil 𑀅𑀓𑀺𑀮𑁰 (akil), from the same source as Arabic يَلَنْجُوج (yalanjūj), يَلَنْجَج (yalanjaj), يَلَنْجِيج (yalanjīj), أَلَنْجُوج (ʔalanjūj), أَلَنْجَج (ʔalanjaj), Biblical Hebrew אֲהָלִים (ʾăhālîm); compare அகில் (akil, “agarwood”).

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *dʰrēn- (“drone; to murmur”), like English drone and Latin drensō (“to cry (of swans)”). However, Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin, comparing the word with ἀνθρηδών (anthrēdṓn, “hornet”), ἀνθρήνη (anthrḗnē, “bee, wasp”) and τενθρηδών (tenthrēdṓn, “kind of wasp”).

Clearly related to ἠπίαλος (ēpíalos, “ague; nightmare”), thus from Pre-Greek. For the meaning, compare Lithuanian drugys (“fever; moth”) and Albanian ethe (“fever”) with ethëzë (“moth”).

Ending like ἀπήνη (apḗnē), λαμπήνη (lampḗnē) and ὑπήνη (hupḗnē). The word has also been compared with similar terms like ἀνθρηδών (anthrēdṓn, “hornet”), θρῶναξ (thrônax, “drone”) and τενθρηδών (tenthrēdṓn, “kind of wasp”). In view of the suffix and the variations, the word is probably Pre-Greek.

From the same onomatopoeic root are τετράων (tetráōn), τέτριξ (tétrix), τατύρας (tatúras), τέταρος (tétaros) and τετράζω (tetrázō).

However, the notion "thick, solid" does not seem to fit the objects in question. A word for such objects is easily borrowed and, according to Beekes, it contains a typical Pre-Greek suffix.

→ Old Georgian: კორალიონი (ḳoralioni)

Traditionally derived from a univerbation of κόρη (kórē, “girl, maiden”) + ἅλς (háls, “salt; sea”) + -ιον (-ion, diminutive suffix), literally “daughter of the sea”, which would be a calque of a similar Indian expression. However, Lewy suggests a Semitic origin, comparing this word with Hebrew גּוֹרָל (gōrāl, “small pebble”) and Arabic جَرَل (jaral, “small stone”).

The connection with ἴκτις (íktis, “marten”) and ἴκτινος (íktinos, “kite”) is defended by Grošelj Živa, who assumes a colour root ἰκ- (ik-, “yellow, green”), and compares ἰκμαλέον (ikmaléon, “green, moist”). This remains speculative. According to Furnée, the group -κτ- points to Pre-Greek origin.

Like the rhyming word ὀρφνός (orphnós, “dark”), this word is usually explained from a meaning "dark-colored". Similar words are μοριφόν (moriphón, “dark, black”), μορύσσω (morússō, “to soil, defile”), as well as μόρον (móron, “mulberry”). Connection with μορφή (morphḗ, “form”) cannot be proven. The word has also been connected to Sanskrit मृग (mṛga, “deer, antelope”), with an influence from νηττοφόνος (nēttophónos, “kind of eagle”); doubtful in view of the haplology that has to be assumed.

Has been compared with bird names like Middle Welsh cuan (“screech-owl”) and other Celtic words, whence Latin cāvannus (“tawny owl”). Within Greek, one also finds forms with internal velar, like καυκαλίας (kaukalías, “kind of bird”), with which are compared Lithuanian kaukȳs (“kind of bird”) and primary verbs like Sanskrit कौति (kauti, “to cry, hum”) and Lithuanian kaūkti (“to howl, moan”). However, according to Beekes, the word is Pre-Greek, in view of the suffix.
