Dear colleagues,

Am I right in thinking that "okolachivat'sia" (to hang or lounge about) has
"kol" (stake, picket), as in "net ni kola ni dvora," (neither house nor
home) as its main root?  I've tried, unsuccessfully, to find the verb's
etymology in any of my dictionaries.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Many thanks!

Janneke
