Salam. Please, read Lane's lexicon p 120-121. The root would be أ ل و for the meaning of ذو (possessor). Linguisticly, it is linked the the meaning of the article ال.

Salaam

I do not read Lane but checked Lisan Al-Arab:

http://untiredwithloving.org/ulu.html

The root of this word is 'u-lu أُلٌ i.e. Hamza+Dhamma Lam+Dhamma and this is single in state of Raf'.

This word is always annexed (Mudhaf) to something else and never appears alone.

Plural is 'u-l-u Hamza+Dhamma Waw Lam+Dhamma Waw + Alif-Sakin

الواوا

It can appear in state of Nasb and thus Waw turned into Ya in Jarr i.e. Yi:

أُولي

It has exactly the same meaning as Zu which is an incomplete noun indicating companionship or ownership of something (which followers after Zu). Included the Lisan Al-Arab for Zu as well.
