It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "Sol", "soll", "Sohn", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is Sohle, spelled S-O-H-L-E.
