(about the helle/a) Norwegian, but I guess similar forms occur in the other
scandinavian languages too. But again, I'm not sure which meaning derived
from which, the slope from the pour [and then the stone from the slope?], or
both the stone and the pour from the slope...
(if anyone knows Gothic equivalents of those hall- words and their meanings,
I guess that could bring us closer to the truth)

Subject: Etymology

Diederik,

The only Gothic item I can come up with is *hallus* 'stone slab', 'stone
block', 'boulder', 'rock', corresponding to Crimean Gothic *ael* and going
back to Germanic **halluz* and Indo-European **kel-*.

This seems to belong to the "hall" group, also German *hehlen* 'to hide'.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
