@Fay Freak, there must be a different Arabic sense responsible for the "lazy", "tardy" sense in the descendants. --Vahag (talk) 17:01, 25 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Vahagn Petrosyan: It’s probably كَهْل (kahl, of old age). The vocalism is no problem via Turkic as we know Arabic KaLM gets resolved to KaLiM in Vulgar Turkish. Fay Freak (talk) 21:05, 25 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
That must be the correct etymon. --Vahag (talk) 17:14, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
