4) The word in question is a Wanderwort, and both its forms have been taken
from different sources "on its way". An example of this model may be IE
"apple" (with the a-less forms like in Latin "ma:lum" < *maHl- and with
a-having forms like English "apple" < *h2a-bl-, to mention the most known
variations, from earlier *mVl-/*-bVl- ).

"The most known variation"

I definitely disagree.

I can see two different roots.

*H2_bh- and *m_l

No wanderwort at all : two words.
