Proto-Altaic: *kàla ( ~ *k`-, -e-)
Meaning: a k. of hat
Russian meaning: вид шапки
Comments: Basically a Turk.-Kor. isogloss; the Mongolian form is poorly attested and may be borrowed < Turkic. In TM cf. perhaps Evk. kelpeke 'children's winter clothes', kelkē 'children's winter footwear' (ТМС 1, 446).
