Funny cause caillou is bald but means rock in French
You mean it means both bald AND rock in French?
It’s not really surprising. The differences between Finnish/Estonian are usually small shifts in development. E.g. kallio means rock in Finnish - not too far from kalju. And it’s easy to see why such a word could mean both.
