# halu
## Finnish
### Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *halu, probably borrowed and derived from Proto-Germanic *halōną. The meaning "to fetch, get" that the Germanic word appears to have had could also explain halata (“to hug”) with the sense development "to go get > pull towards oneself > embrace", suggesting that it is of the same origin as halata (“to want”).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˈhɑlu/, [ˈhɑ̝lu]
* Rhymes: -ɑlu
* Hyphenation: ha‧lu

### Noun

halu [with illative or allative ‘for’; or with translative ‘to become’; or with first infinitive ‘to do’; or with translative of verbal noun ‘to do’ (to emphasize the result)]
* desire, wish, want
* urge, itch
