Pauly says: 


Ololyge is a a galling scream. (gellender Schrei)

He is matching it with Sanskrit ululi-h, ulula-h, Latin Ululate, Semitic (Hebrew) hallelujah, etc.

What about Proto Altaic and Proto Turkic?


*ūlo to cry, howl: Mong. *uli-; Turk. *ūlɨ-; Jpn. *rá-mp-; Kor. *ūr-.


There is an other possibility to match it with
Proto-Turkic: *ulug meaning big, great (Proto Altaic ulu)
if it should/could be about a religion howling, crying. 


Both proposals by Starostin/Dybo.

Possible?
