On the other hand, gild signifies ‘recompense, compensation, sacrifice.’ See.  ,, ‘situated, opportune, seasonable,’ and ; from gelëgen, , ‘neighbouring, at hand, suitable,’  gilëgan, ‘nearest, related’;  of giligan,  geligen. —  ,, ‘opportunity, occasion,’ from gelëgenheit, ‘situation of an affair, condition or nature of things.’ —   ,, ‘occasional, incidental’ (and ), from gelëgenlich, with an inserted t.  ,, ‘joint, articulation, wrist, link,’ from gelęnke, , ‘waist, bend, bow,’ akin to  , ,  formed from  gelęnke, ‘pliant, skilful’ (see ). While the gelenke, as a collective of  lanke, signifies the ‘pliable narrow part of the body between the hips and breast,’ and hence, as it were, the joint of the entire body, the word in  is applied to each limb; akin to  lancha, hlancha, ‘hip, loins’ (whence also the Romance cognates —  fianco, from which   is borrowed), likewise  hlekkr, ‘link of a chain.’   ,, ‘likeness, cast, stamp,’ ‘class of people of like manners’; in this sense glihter and its derivatives occur even in late  ; derived from  gelich,  (see the latter). Yet the form glifter points to a blending with another word,  *gahliftrja, ‘thief's accomplice’ (akin to  hlifan, ‘to steal,’  allied to  κλέπτω). For ft,  to  ht, see, ,.  ,, ‘to prove succeesful, from gelingen,  gilingan,  , ‘to be successful, proper’;   also lingen, ‘to proper, advance, get on.’ Allied to  lungre, ‘quickly,’ from pre- lughró-, to which the   ἐλαφρός also points; the Aryan root lengh (lngh) appears also in  lañgh, ram̃h, to spring, get on.’ See. ,, ‘to yell,’ from gëllen,  gëllan,  , ‘to sound loud, cry’; corresponding to  gillen,  gillan,  gjalla, ‘to resound’; allied to the  root gel, gal, ‘to resound.’. , ‘to promise, vow,’ from the   geloben,  gilobôn (akin to );  ‘to assent, applaud.’  (1.), particle. See.

 (2.),, ‘giving no milk, barren,’ from the  and  galt; corresponding to  geldr,  galder, which have the same sense. They are connected perhaps with galza,  galze,  gǫltr, ‘gelded pig’ (, gilt, ilt). The stem on which it is based, gald, galt (from pre- ghalt, ghaltn-), perhaps meant ‘to castrate’;   to geld,  gelda, ‘to geld’; akin to  gilþa, ‘sickle’?.  ,, ‘pail, bucket, vessel,’ from gęlte,  gęllita, , ‘vessel for liquids’; adopted in the  period from  galêta, with which are also connected the Romance cognates —  jale, ‘pail,’  galea, galeotta,  galiasse, galion, applied to different kinds of ships. The ultimate source of the cognates is obscure.  ,, ‘to be worth, pass current, prove effectual,’ from gëlten,  gëltan,  , ‘to repay, pay, cost, be worth, requite, compensate’;   us-, fra-gildan, ‘to requite’ (akin to  gild and gilstr, , ‘tax’),  gjalda (, also gialla, from  gelþan), ‘to pay,’  gildan,  to yield,  gelden, ‘to be worth, cost,’  geldan. The common stem gelþ, the þ of which is proved by  from pre- ghel-t, points to the fact that  žlědą, ‘I pay, atone for,’ was borrowed. The meaning of the  cognates is ‘to make good, pay over something’; it seems to be specially applied to religious sacrifices;   gild,  gëld, ‘sacrifice’ (akin to  τέλθος, ‘duty’?).
