Gem  gęlze (galze), gęlza (galza). See.   ,, ‘chamber, apartment; comfort, rest,’ from gemach, , , ‘rest, comfort, case, nursing, place where one is nursed, room,’  gimah(hh), ‘ease, advantage’; the  meaning is not found until the classical period of ; the   , ‘comfortable,’ preserves the earlier meaning,  gemach,  gimah(hh), ‘comfortable, suitable’; , ‘suitable to one another’ (  makr, ‘suitable’; see ). Akin to, gemechlîch,  gimahlîhho,.   ,, ‘genitals; handiwork,’ from gemaht (, gemęhte),  gimaht, , ‘testicles’; akin to   (  gemacht).   , and, ‘consort, spouse,’ from  gemahele, , ‘betrothed, husband,’ and gemahele,  (very rarely , which is first found in Luther specially), ‘betrothed, wife’ (the  form  is wanting in );  gimahalo, , ‘betrothed, husband,’ gimahala (gimâla), ‘betrothed, wife.’ Simply a  form from a common   maþla- (whence mahla-), ‘public assembly, negotiation’;   maþl, ‘assembly, market’ (akin to maþljan, ‘to make a speech’), , mál, ‘speech’ (mœ̂la, ‘to make a speech),  meðel, ‘assembly’ (maðolian, mœ̂lan, ‘to make a speech’),  mahal, ‘assembly, contract, marriage contract.’ Hence the  upon which the word is based has assumed in  only, the special reference to the act of betrothal in the public assembly before the community.   ,, ‘conformably, proportionally, suitably,’ from gemœȥe,  gimâȥȥi, , ‘adapted’; akin to.  ,, ‘common, public; mean, vulgar,’ from gemeine,  gimeini, ‘belonging to one another, in common, universal, belonging to the great body’; an  common to ;   gamains, ‘in common, joint, general, unholy,’  gemœ̂ne,  mean,  gemeen. The common ga-maini-s is  allied to the   com-mûnis (for com-moini-s);   ûnus with  ains, Aryan oino-s. Since ‘in common’ is the primary meaning of the class, (which see) cannot be very closely allied to its  cognates.  ,, ‘chamois,’ from the   gęmeȥe, gamȥ,  *gamuȥ (gamȥ), ; although a corresponding word is wanting in the other  languages, there is no sufficient reason for regarding  *gamiȥa, , as borrowed (formed like  hiruȥ, see ;  ganot, ‘waterfowl’;  krebeȥ, see ). The Romance cognates ( camozza, chamois) which are  in sound tell rather in favour of their own foreign origin than that of the  word (in  the term was rupicapra). Perhaps and  gamo, ‘stag,’ is based upon a  *gama, allied to  ( game has probably no connection with the word?).   ', see ; ', see ; ' and ', see.  ,, ‘against, towards,’ from the  gên, a variant of gein, gęgen. See. , ‘accurate, precise, strict, parsimonious,’ from late  nouwe, ‘careful, exact,’ akin to nouwe, genouwe,, ‘scarcely’;   naauw, ‘narrow, exact, punctual.’ Probably these cognates, in their  form *ga-nêws, are to be connected with  nêhws,. Others refer them to a root nau, ‘to narrow,’ in and its cognates. , see. ,, ‘to get well, recover,’ from genësen,  ginësan,  , ‘to be left alive, be healed, escape alive,’ also ‘to be delivered of a child’; corresponding to  ganisan, ‘to recover health, be rescued, saved,’  genësan,  ginësan, ‘to be rescued, be left alive’; also  genezen, ‘to heal, cure.’ The  root nes, with which  and its cognates are connected as factitives, corresponds to the  root nas, ‘to approach in an affectionate manner, join,’ and especially to  νέομαι (root νεσ-), ‘to come back,’ and νόσ-τος, ‘return home.’ From  are derived  gonĭząti (goneznąti), ‘to be redeemed,’ and gonoziti, ‘to redeem,’ allied to gonoziteljĭ, ‘Saviour.’ See.  ,, ‘back of the neck, nape,’ from the  genic, genicke, ; akin to ,  hnëcca. <section end="Genick" /> <section begin="genießen" /> ,, ‘to enjoy, partake of,’ from the  genieȥen,  ginioȥan,  , with the variants  nieȥen,  nioȥan; corresponding to  niutan, ‘to take part in something,’ ganiutan, ‘to catch’ (nuta, ‘captor,<section end="genießen" />
