HALI ETYMON Hall, the modern Turkish word for carpet o r n ig , was written ka l i in O ttom an script until late in the 19th century, as it was in classical Persian and still is in modern P e rsian. It was borrowed from Persian into U rdu and from Ottoman Turkish into Armenian and o ther Caucasian tongues ami into the languages o f the Balkans. Its ultimate origin is uncertain; it could be Turkish but might be Sogdian.
