Gip still less closely allied, and is rather a variant of.   ,, ‘gypsum, plaster of Paris,’ from the  and late  gips, which again is derived from - gypsum (γύψος,  and  ν being pronounced like i, see ), whence also  gypse,  gips.  ,, ‘to coo,’ allied to gërren, gurren, garren, which are used for various kinds of sounds.  ', older ',, ‘yeast, foam,’ formed from the  jëst, gëst, , corresponding to  yest, yeast,  gest, ‘yeast.’ Allied to  ( gischen), older  ( geschen, a variant of jësen). See, a factitive of jësen.   ,, ‘trellice, lattice, railing,’ from the  geter, , a variant of gater, ; even in late  gegitter.   ,, ‘lustre, splendour,’ from the  glanz (wanting in ), with which is connected the  and   glanz, ‘bright, shining’;  , from the   and  glęnzen; to the same class belong  glander, ‘splendour, shining,’ and glanst, ‘splendour,’ further glinster, ‘splendour,’ and the very rare   glinzen. A stem glint- is wanting in the rest of the dialects unless the cognates of  ( *glada-) are allied.   ,, ‘glass, tumbler,’ from the  and  glas, ; a common  word unknown to the other Aryan groups;   gles,  glas,  glæs,  glass; allied to  gler, , ‘glass,’ with the change of s to r, which proves the word to be   (*glaza- and *glasa- in ). Hence it is not very probable that the word was borrowed, although glass itself was imported by the Phœnicians. The term for amber ( glêsum) is likewise  allied;   glæ̂re, ‘resin of trees.’ See the following word.   ,, ‘splendour,’ from the  glast. It is uncertain whether it belongs, like the cognates discussed under the preceding word, to a root glas, ‘to shine.’  ,, ‘smooth, polished, slippery, bald,’ from and  glat, ‘smooth, shining’; corresponding to  gladmôd, ‘gladsome,’  glad, ‘smooth,’  glǣ̆d,  ‘shining, joyous,’  glad,  glaðr, ‘joyous, shining.’  *glada- for pre- ghladho- is  allied to  gladŭkŭ, ‘smooth,’  glaber (for *ghladhro-), ‘smooth;’ hence not ‘shining’ but ‘smooth’ is the  meaning of the  cognates. The connection with glodùs, ‘fitting smoothly’ (from the root glud, ‘to cling to’?), is uncertain. also the following word, as well as and.  ,, from the  glatz, ‘bald pate, bald spot, surface of the head’;  *glatta- for pre- ghladhno, allied to  (pre- ghladho-); hence  is  ‘smooth spot.’ <section end="Glatze" /> <section begin="Glaube" /> ,, ‘belief, credit, creed,’ from the  geloube (by syncope gloube),  giloubo, ; an abstract common to West ; corresponding to  gilôƀo,  geloof,  geleáfa ( belief). With this is connected earlier (in Luther), from the   gelouben (glöuben),  gilouben, gilouppen;   gilôbian,  gelooven,  gelŷfan,  to believe,  galaubjan, ‘to believe.’ The  meaning is ‘to approve.’ To the same root lub belong , , , and. <section end="Glaube" /> ,, ‘like, similar, equal, direct,’ from the  gelîch,  gilîh(hh); common to  in the same sense;   galeiks,  glíkr,  gelîc,  like,  gelijk,  gilîk. This specifically  is compounded of the particle,  ga-, and a  lîka-, ‘body,’ whose cognates are discussed under ; the compound meant  ‘having a symmetrical body.’ The word lîk,  , as the second component, is always used in the same sense; e.g., ,  ‘having a woman's body’ (it is preserved also in the  , ,  ‘having what kind of body? having a body of that kind’; yet see these words). — <section begin="Gleichen" /> , in expressions like, is also based upon the , which is here declined in the weak form;   mîn gelîche,  mîn gilîhho, ‘my equals.’ — <section end="Gleichen" /> <section begin="Gleichnis" /> ,, ‘similitude, allegory, parable,’ from gelîchnisse, |. ni., gilîhnissa,, ‘copy, model, parable.’ — <section end="Gleichnis" /> ,, ‘as it were, as though,’ a combination of and  for , ‘just as if’;   sam, same, , ‘thus, just as, even as’ ( sama, from a  stem sama-, ‘the very same’;   same,
