Gau  ,, ‘buffoon, juggler, impostor,’ from goukelœre,  goukalâri, gouggalâri (k from gg, see ), ‘magician, conjuror’; from  goukeln,  goukolôn, gouggolôn, ‘to deal in magic, play the fool.’ Apparently allied to  gougarôn,  gougern, ‘to roam about,’ also to  gogeln, ‘to act without restraint, flutter about,’ gogel, , ‘unrestrained, exuberant,’ giege, , ‘fool, dupe’;  goochelaar, ‘buffoon.’ The cognates point to a  root gug, geug, gaug, ‘to move here and there in a curious fashion like a clown or conjuror’?. Considering the numerous correspondences, it cannot be maintained that was derived from  joculari, or from  καυκίον, ‘small dish or bowl’; both these explanations are opposed by the phonetic relations of the words; in the case of the  term there is the further difficulty that we do not know how it was borrowed, and also the fact that no verb ‘to juggle’ occurs in.   ,, ‘steed, nag,’ from gûl, , ‘boar, male animal (generally)’; only at a late period and rarely ‘nag,’ which meaning becomes prominent in the 15th ; for a ‘sorry jade’ runzît is used in ;  guil, , ‘a mare that does not yet bear.’ The word is not known to the other dialects; its origin is obscure.   ,, ‘palate, taste,’ from goume, guome,  goumo (giumo?), guomo, , ‘palate, throat, jaw’; corresponding to  gôma, , ‘palate,’  gums (probably from  *gumma, since, moreover, there are numerous forms in earlier  which point to an  *gummo, ‘palate’);  gómr, , ‘palate’;  *gaumô, *gômô, , are wanting. Allied to gomyris, ‘palate.’ The relation of the vowels of the stem ( and  ou and uo,  and  ô) is obscure; see. Some etymologists connect the word with a root gau ( χαν (in χαῦνος, ‘gasping, loose,’ χάος, ‘chasm,’ for χάϝος).   ', earlier, , ‘sharper, knave,’ does not occur till the beginning of the last century; in the 15th and 16th  the professional swindlers at cards were called , from the slang , ‘to play,’ the ultimate source of which is said to be  jânâ, ‘to cheat.’   ', a proclitic prefix, from  ge-,   gi, ga- (an accented prefix ga- in noun compounds is very rare in  and ); the  idea is ‘collectivity, completeness’;   ga-,  ge- (in  i only in handiwork, handicraft,  hondgeweorc, hondgecrœft;  also  enough, from  genôh, under ).

See ; where proofs are given of the antiquity of the verbal stem ber, pre- bher, within the Aryan group; in the root bhṛ, bhar, may mean ‘to bear offspring’ as well as ‘to bear’ generally;   fertilis, from  fero; in  the substantives combairt and brith, corresponding to, ‘birth,’ manifest the same specialisation. See.   ', ',, ‘bearing, gesture,’ from gebœrde, , ‘conduct, appearance, manner,’  gibârida, , from  gebâren,  gibârên, -ôn; corresponding to  gebœ̂ran, ‘to conduct oneself,’ gebœ̂re, gebœ̂rn, ‘conduct’; from the root ber in ,.  ,, ‘to give, present, render, yield,’ from the  gëben,  gëban; common to  in the same sense;   giban,  gifan,  to give,  geren,  gefa. , . Akin to gabim, ‘I take,’  gabénti, ‘to bring, convey to,’ gobinti, ‘to cause to bring’?.  ,, ‘prayer,’ from the  gebët,  gibët,  ( and  gebëd, , ‘prayer’); allied to ,. <section end="Gebet" /> <section begin="Gebiet" /> ,, ‘dominion, jurisdiction, territory, sphere,’ from gebiet, , ‘territory, jurisdiction, order’; allied to ,. <section end="Gebiet" /> <section begin="Gebirge" /> ,, from the  gebirge,  gibirgi, , ‘range (of mountains),’ a specifically  collective form allied to. <section end="Gebirge" /> <section begin="Gebresten" /> ,, ‘defect, infirmity, grief,’ an used as a noun; from  ge-brësten.
