The etymology being "Hál béo thu" makes the most sense if it is like "God be with ye" having similarly shortened to "Goodbye". This shortening of greetings makes sense since they are quick phrases of introduction.

If not then something from hail would make the most sense. It could also be that it is hel/hail and lo so be healthy and behold or hail and lo.

This makes sense as saying the greeting "hail" then asking for attention with lo in case they still didn't hear you or acknowledge you. This seems the most reasonable origin because not many English words end in the letter O. Certainly none to be used in a greeting except lo.

It appears that you may be a fellow addict to the (complete) OED. Thanks for the vid.

Im sitting here in Norwich after thinking "where did Hello come from" now I have learned the first written record of the word was right where I am. Weird

Have you heard of the book The Language Crystal? Wonder what you would think about it

That was so fascinating! Do you have a linguistics degree or is etymology just a hobby?
