halu

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”).
