Etymology of a few words

I'd like to know if anyone can offer source languages for the
following few words in the Jargon.

lahál "bone game"
saplíl ~ saplél "flour, bread"
íkta "something"
lháxani "outside"

Also, has anyone collected a list of etymologies for non-European
words? There are some mentioned in various places, but they don't
usually give a reliable form in the source language.

Thanks, Mási,
James
