Gal  γαλάγγα). The origin of the term has probably been rightly ascribed to the East; some etymologists compare it with Arab galang.   ,, ‘gallows, gibbet, crossbeam,’ from galge,  galgo, , ‘gallows (also applied to the cross of Christ), frame over a well from which the bucket is hung to draw water.’ It corresponds to  galgo,  galg,  gealga,  gallows (the  used as a , yet  gallow-tree),  galge, ‘gallows,’  galga,  (applied to the cross of Christ, as also in all the other  dialects); a common  word,  galgan-, pre- ghalgha-;   żalga, , ‘pole.’ Note the double sense of the  and  word. Probably some such idea as a ‘long pliable rod’ is the starting-point of the various meanings of the cognates.   ,, ‘gall, gall-nut,’ first occurs in early , from galla, whence also, probably, the   galloc;   oak-gall (galloak). See (2.).    (1.),, ‘gall, bile,’ from the  galle,  galla, ; common to  in the same sense (only in  is the weak  *gallô not recorded);   galla,  gal,  gealla,  gall,. Like a great number of terms relating to the body (see, , , , ), too has numerous correspondences in the cognate languages, which points to the antiquity of the Aryan term ( *gallin- or *galzin-, from pre- ghal-);   χολή, χόλος,  fel, fellis, , ‘gall.’ Many etymologists connect the word with  ( gëlo), as if gall was named from its colour;  žlŭčĭ, ‘gall’ (from *gĭlkĭ), is certainly allied to  želknutĭ, ‘to turn yellow.’    (2.),, ‘barbel,’ from galle, , ‘swelling above the knee on the hind-leg of a horse’;   gall (swelling, sore spot, gall-nut); it is questionable whether  is allied to the word. Also in Romance, galla and  agulla, signify ‘swelling, tumour, gall-nut.’ Hence the - galla, ‘gall-nut,’ was perhaps the source of the  terms. Yet it is possible that the foreign word has been confused with a word similar in sound, especially since  dialects also have a term gräsgaller, ‘swelling on the hoof of a horse.’   ',, ‘jelly, from gal -' hert, galhart, galreide, , ‘jelly of animal and vegetable matter.’  galatina, ‘jelly,’ as well as  gelée (from  gelare''), cannot, for phonetic reasons, serve as the source of the  word; the origin is still obscure.   ,, ‘calamine,’ first occurs in early , with the older variant ; once in kalemîne; from  and ;   lapis calaminaris,  calamine; earlier  cadmia,  καδμεία, ‘calamine.’   ,, ‘gallop,’ borrowed from galop, even in the  period, as is proved by  galopieren, of which the variant walopieren occurs (  walap, ‘galop,’  wallop). The words on which they are based are derived by some etymologists from a  source, though it cannot be assigned to any satisfactory root; some assume a Goth- *walh-hlaup, which is supposed to denote a  method of trotting. <section end="Galopp" /> <section begin="Gamander" /> ,, ‘germander,’ from the  gamandrê; from  chamandreus, gamandraea, which is based upon  χαμαίδρυς, χαμαίδρυον, ‘germander.’ <section end="Gamander" /> <section begin="Ganerbe" /> ,, ‘joint-heir, co-proprietor,’ from ganerbe (from ge-an-erbe), , ‘next co-heir, especially a co-heir with the right of obtaining the property of his fellow-inheritors at their death,’  ganarbo, ‘co-heir’ ( *gaána-arbja, ).
