Etymologie (Engels)

* From Proto-Italic *aulos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewlós, nominal form of *h₂ewlo- (“tube, hole, channel”), with metathesis. Cognate with Ancient Greek αὐλός (aulós), Lithuanian avilỹs. Same metathesis seen in parvus - παῦρος (paûros). For the semantics compare Old Armenian փոր (pʻor, “cavity, hollow; belly”).
* Or from Proto-Italic *alwos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- (“to nourish”) + *-wós.
