callis

1. second-person singular present subjunctive of callar

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *kel- (“to drive”), and compared with celer (“fast”). De Vaan prefers to link the word to callum (“hard substance, callus”) instead, considering the "rough" connotations of both terms.[1]
