Ačaṙyan remarks that the similarity with Kurdish qilêr (“dirt, filth”) is accidental and leaves the origin open.

According to J̌ahukyan, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *gu-l-ēro-, from *gew- (“to bend, curl”) and cognate with German Keule (“club, cudgel”), Kaule (“round objct”), kullern (“to roll”). Alternatively, a Kartvelian borrowing: compare Georgian ყლე (q̇le).
