Gan ,’ from gęnge,  gęngi, ‘ordinary, scattered,’  ‘capable of going, or rather of circulating’; a verbal  from the root gang (see the preceding word), formed like, ,.   ,, ‘goose,’ from the  gans,  gans, ; a common  term for ‘goose,’ unrecorded in  only, in which *gans,  ( *gans) may have been the form (  ganso, adopted from it). To this correspond gôs (ô from an before s),  gês (owing to the i mutation),,  goose,  geese;  gás, , from pre- ghans-;  gans; one of the few names of birds to be ascribed to a  Aryan origin, since it recurs in most of the languages of the Aryan group;  haṅsá-s, , haṅsî, , ‘goose,’  yâz,  żąsìs ( gąsĭ is borrowed from ),  χήν,  anser (for *hanser),  géis, ‘swan’ (from ghansi). The s of Aryan ghans- seems to be a suffix ; at least words of cognate stem point to ghan- as the more primitive form;   ganaȥȥo,  ganze, genz,, ‘gander,’  gent, ‘gander,’  ganot,  gannet (‘swan’);  gandra,  gander. Pliny informs us that large flocks of geese were kept in Germania, and that the birds or their feathers were sent even to Rome; one species was said to be called gantae by the Teutons; a similar term is known in ( ganta,  gante, ‘wild goose’), which borrowed it from. To the ganta, from pre- ganda, the  géd, ‘goose’ ( gàndras, ‘stork’), is  allied.   ,, ‘gander, wild tansy,’ simply, formed like , from an earlier  (still found in many of the  dialects; in  gunšter,  gánsert),  ganȥer, also ganȥe, ganze, , ‘gander.’   gante,  gasse for gásse, ‘gander’; see. The plant is a corruption of an earlier ;   bec d'oie,  piè d oca. The and  term is gręnsinc (even cęnsing also in ).   ,, ‘auction, bankruptcy,’ an word (unknown to the  ), from  gant, , ‘sale to the highest bidders, auction.’ Not from  gant, ‘glove.’ It is not true that “affixing a glove (in a symbolical way) has given rise to the terms  and , denoting a distress on real property.” The term is more-pro - bably derived from  l'encant,  l'encan, ‘auction’ ( incanto, from  in quantum), whence  cant, ‘auction.’  ',, ‘whole, complete, entire,’ from and  ganz, , ‘uninjured, complete, whole, healthy,’  a  word simply, which was adopted, however, by the  dialects of  ( ganske,  gansch,  gans; n would not have been retained before s in a native  or  word. The early history of  ganz is obscure; if its primary meaning is ‘encircling,’ it is perhaps connected with  χανδάνω, ‘to comprise’;   χανδός, ‘spacious’?. ',  (and ), ‘finished, ready, done’ (of cooked food), from  gar ( garwer), , gare, ,  garo ( garawêr), , garo, garawo, , ‘made ready,’ armed, prepared, complete, entire’; corresponding to  garo,  gearo (, gearwe also),  yare, Olc. gǫrr ( gǫrwa), ‘ready, prepared, made’;  *garwa- is wanting. The  was really used as a , the suffix wo in , combines with the root pac, ‘to cook,’ forming the  pakvâ-s, ‘cooked, done’ (of food). Besides gearo, ‘ready,’ a remarkable form, earo, is found with the same meaning, and in  aru as well as gara; these forms point to  *garwa and *arwa, ‘prepared, made ready.’ Hence some have identified the two classes regarding the g of *garwa- as the remnant of the verbal particle  ga ( ge).   (1.),, ‘sheaf,’ from the  garbe,  garba, ; Corresponding to  garba,  garf, ‘sheaf’;  ‘handful, manipulum.’ Hence from the  root gṛbh, ‘to lay hold of, seize,’ grâbhá, ‘handful;’  grabas,  , ‘a bundle hastily collected,’  grĕpti, ‘to seize,’ and grópti, ‘to snatch.’ In the  dialects , , , &c., are also allied to the Aryan root ghṛbh; so too  grabbelen,  to grabble. The cognates found their way into Romance ( gerbe,, ‘sheaf’).

 (2.), (the same is, ‘milfoil’), , ‘millefolium,’ from the  garwe,  garwa, garawa, , ‘millefolium’; corresponding to  gearewe, ,  yarrow,  gerw, ‘millefolium.’ Whether it is related to  ( garwa-) is uncertain.   ,, ‘to ferment, effervesce, bubble,’ a combination as to its form of a   gëren; jësen;  jësan,
