According to Pokorny, the word comes from Illyrian (as represented in Italy by Messapic) and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel-. Compare Ancient Greek φαλός (phalós, “white”), Sanskrit भाल (bhāla, “splendour”), Old Armenian բալ (bal, “fog”) and 古期英語 bǣl (English bale)[1]. Almost identical to baltë. Thought to be from the same Illyrian substrate[2]
