Etymology

From Old Latin olle ‎(“he, that”) (also ollus, olla), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ol-no- or *h₂l̥-no-, from *h₂el- ‎(“beyond, other”). Cognate with Latin uls ‎(“beyond”), alius ‎(“other”), alter ‎(“the other”), Umbrian ulu ‎(“to that place”), Old Church Slavonic лани ‎(lani, “last year”, literally “in that (year)”).

Initial i- from o- has no parallel case and may be due to contamination from is, iste or due to the palatalizing effect of l exilis.
