τέλσον

According to Beekes, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷels- (“to carve, draw”), which corresponds to Hittite 𒄢𒀸𒍣 (gulšzi, “to carve, engrave, inscribe”), Sanskrit कर्स् (kars, “to pull, drag, plow”) and Avestan [script needed] (karš, “to pull, drag, plow”); the retention of -λσ- is regular if the accent was on the preceding syllable. Forbes does not accept this phonological root and therefore derives the word from the root of τέλος (télos, “accomplishment, fulfillment”), which Beekes finds unsatisfactory and unnecessary, particularly if the root is to be reconstructed with a final laryngeal, *kʷelh₁-, though this is debated.
