Etymology

An old r/n-stem from Proto-Indo-European *ḱewh₁- (“to swell”), which is found thematicized in Avestan 𐬯𐬏𐬭𐬀 (sūra, “hole; lacuna”), as well as in Old Armenian սոր (sor, “hole”); a thematic n-stem occurs in Sanskrit शू॒न (śūná, “tumid; tumescent”), सून (sūna, “emptiness; lack”), शू॒न्य (śūnyá, “empty; void”). An l-stem is supposed in κῠ́λᾰ (kŭ́lă, “holes under the eyelids”), but also compare κοῖλος (koîlos, “hollow”) too. These words are generally connected with the group of κῠ́ω (kŭ́ō, “to be pregnant with”), assuming a basic meaning “curvation”, whence both “hole” and “vaulting”.
