Translation:
[The term is taken] from wood [ka=lon], [i.e.] timber;[1] but [it is] the same from "burning" [kau/sews].[2]

Notes:
[1] For this equivalence cf. kappa 186, kappa 201, kappa 211, kappa 247
[2] The mention of burning is mysterious; perhaps it is connected with the meaning "stubble" which is what is left of stalks of grain after fields are harvested or burnt. According to LSJ, ka=lon may be related to the verb kai/w "burn."
