Etymology
Clearly related to πυλεών (puleṓn, “wreath”); on this basis, a pre-form *πῠ́λος (*pŭ́los) has been assumed, which is then connected with Sanskrit पुलक (pulaka, “erection or bristling of the hairs of the body”), पु॒ल॒स्ति (pulastí, “wearing the hair straight”) and पुल (pula, “horripilation”). From Iranian, Kurdish is adduced, and from Celtic Irish ulcha (“beard”). However, Mayrhofer doubts this connections; in fact the suffix -ιγγ- may rather point to a Pre-Greek origin. See: Irish Nouns '
ulcha'.
