Etymology
From Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (kolay), from kol (“arm; earlier also 'hand'”) + -ay, thus having the original meaning 'handy'[1]. Nişanyan compares the Old Turkic verbal stem [script needed] (qol-, “to want; beg”), which is also derived from the stem meaning 'arm/hand' [2].
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [kɔˈɫɑj]
