√KHOL² root. “crow, cry aloud”: ᴱ√OHO² “cry”

A root appearing in Common Eldarin: Noun Structure from the early 1950s with the gloss “crow, cry aloud”, serving as the basis for primitive words for male and female chickens (PE21/82). It may be a later iteration of the early root ᴱ√HO(HO) “shout, scream” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/40), a primitive form that was mentioned again as ᴹ✶hō- “shout” in the Declension of Nouns from the early 1930s (PE21/39).
