On the the topic of CLH as related to prayer etc. and jumping into the debate late without reading the beginning of the thread (erased by error etc.) would there be a connection between CLA and calyan ("tsalyan"), a pilgrim, one traveling to a certain destination on a religious urge, need or imperative, hence proximity to prayer, or am I too far off?
