,, to  vüetern, vuotern, ‘to feed, nourish,’  fuotiren  ( *fôdrjan); a derivative of , ‘nourishment.’

    ,, ‘gift,’ from the  gâbe, ;  *gâba and  *gêba are wanting; instead  gëba ( gëbe with the  variant gippe), , occurs,  gëba,  gifu,  gjǫf,  giba, , ‘gift.’ The forms corresponding to the assumed  *gêba are seen in  gaaf and  gáfa.   ,, ‘acceptable, in vogue, stylish,’ from gœbe ( *gâbi), , ‘acceptable, dear, good’;  *gêbi- is related to giban (see ), just as nêms is to niman (see , );   gœ̂fr, ‘salutary,’  gaaf, ‘suitable.’   ,, ‘fork, shafts (of a vehicle),’ from the  gabele, gabel,  gabala, gabal, ; corresponding to  gaffel (hence  gaffall, ‘fork’),  rarely, geaful, , ‘fork’ (for which, even in the  period, forc,  fork occurs). seems to be related by gradation to, and in that case the oldest shape of the fork must have been a sort of acute angle like a gable. Yet the supposition that the word was borrowed is not to be rejected, especially since ‘the form of an acute angle’ can hardly be the meaning of. Note the correspondence with words;  gabul, ‘fork,’ gabhla, ‘shears,’  gebel, ‘tongs,’  gabalus ‘(gable-shaped) gallows’; to these also  gábhasti, ‘fork, shaft,’ may be allied, in which case it would follow that the West   is perhaps  allied to the.  ', ',, ‘to cackle, chatter,’ simply ; imitative forms like gâgen, ‘to cackle like a goose.’ akin to  gagelen, ‘to gabble,’ and even in  gackizôn, ‘to mutter,’ gagizôn, gackazzen, ‘to bawl,’  gagzen, ‘to cluck like a hen laying.’   gagga, ‘to howl like a fox,’ gagl, ‘wild goose,’  to gaggle.  ', ', and, ‘room, cottage, storey,’ from  and  gaden, gadem, , ‘house containing one room only,’ then generally ‘apartment, chamber,’  gadum, gadaum, ;  a merely  word, which found its way, however,  even into. Akin to *gatm (from ga- and tmo-, the latter related to  δόμος, μεσό-δμη, and  )?. Less probably allied to geat,  gate (  gat, ‘opening,’ under ). At all events, the connection with χιτών, ‘garment,’ is impossible.  ,, ‘to gape at,’ from the   gaffen,  *gaffên (deduced from  geffida, , ‘contemplation’);  *gapan is wanting. The ordinary and  words for the modern  are kapfen and chapfên ( *kappan,, is wanting). Hence, according to the sounds, the two words are radically different; in the period,  kapfen has given way to. The latter signifies ‘to look on with open mouth;’   gapen and the   to gape,  gapa, ‘to open the mouth wide,’ gap, ‘chaos.’ The  root gap, ‘to gape,’ is allied to  root jabh, ‘to snap’?.  , see.   ,, ‘to yawn, gape,’ from the  ginen (genen, geinen),  ginên (geinôn);  ae for ĕ. *gi- nai-, from the root gī̆, ‘to gape’;  ginian, gânian, ‘to gape.’  and  possess a   formed from the root gī̆, and n  a suffix of the present stem —  gína,  tôgînan, ‘to bark’;  also  gin,, ‘jaw of animals.’  gîên, ‘to gape,’ is formed without the suffix n; so too with a derivative w,  giwên, gëwôn,  giwen, gëwen, ‘to open the mouth wide.’ The  root gī̆, from pre- ghī̆, is widely diffused, especially in West. hiare (for h, representing  g, see  and ),  zijati, ‘to gape, bark,’  żióti, ‘tó ‘to open the mouth wide’;  gin, ‘mouth’ ( gin);  hisco;  χειά, ‘hole,’ for χειϝά?. <section end="gähnen" /> <section begin="Galgant" /> ,, ‘galangal,’ from the  galgan, galgân, galgant, ;   galingale,  galangal; a medicinal herb of the Middle Ages, known under the same name to  (  galanga,  galanga —  galanga; also   <section end="Galgant" />
