ol (uncountable)

  1. Alternative form of oile (oil)

From Turkish yol (way, road), similar to tariqa and rêç (path), rêûresm (ceremony), rêbaz (method), etc. Compare oldaş (friend, companion) (from yoldaş). Originally only limited to Êzdi jargon term for "sect, cult" to refer to the Adawi order. It was popularized in the 90s favored over the native dîn to mean "religion" in Northern Kurdish media in an assumption that this word is "more Kurdish", as opposed to the native one which is the exact same of Turkish din.

On a lesser possibility, or perhaps now conflated with it, is an earlier *ord, a New Iranic development of *erd meaning "order"; akin to asha and rta. For the sound change compare Middle Persian 𐭠𐭥𐭲𐭥𐭧𐭱𐭲𐭩 (Ardwahišt) and Persian اردیبهشت (Ordibehešt).

ōl

  1. first/third-person singular preterite indicative of alan

Kortlandt believes this particle to be a contraction of a Proto-Celtic phrase beginning with *ol est. In particular, he derives the inflected form olsí from a contraction of a Proto-Celtic phrase *ol est ēgt, with *ēgt deriving from *h₁eǵ- (to say). Its ending was reinterpreted as the feminine singular pronoun , giving rise to the analogical masculine form olsé.[1]

ol

  1. (quotative) says, said
    • c. 800–825, Diarmait, Milan Glosses on the Psalms, published in Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus (reprinted 1987, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies), edited and with translations by Whitley Stokes and John Strachan, vol. I, pp. 7–483, Ml. 31c14

      “A n-atamm·res-⟨s⟩a,” ol Día.

      “When I shall arise,” says God.

This particle is used after or interrupting a quotation, either in an inflected form or followed by the identity of who is speaking.

This particle inflects similarly to a preposition, but for pronominal gender and number only.
