Together with Proto-Celtic *koslos (“hazel”), Proto-Germanic *haslaz (“hazel”) from Proto-Indo-European *kóslos if not a Proto-Italic borrowing from Celtic or Germanic before the First Germanic Sound Shift or a substrate. The presence of the “y” letter may be a reworking of the original corulus variant through a phenomenon in which the Romans had the tendency to Grecize words for poetic reasons. See Thybris and Tiberis.
