Gle  ὁμός,  sama-, ‘the same, equal’). — See .  ',, for ' (like , , &c., from ), ‘track (of a wheel) rut,’ allied to  geleis (rare), , ‘trodden way,’ usually  leis, leise, , ‘trace, track,’  *leisa in waganleisa, , ‘track of a waggon’; formed from the  root lais, ‘to go,’ discussed under ;  lîra, de-lîrare,  lěcha, ‘ridge’ (from *laisâ),  lýsė, ‘garden bed,’ are also allied.    and  porca, ‘ridge.’   ', , ‘fool's parsley,’ first occurs in ; allied to the following word.   ', , ‘to shine, glitter,’ from  glîȥen,  glîȥȥan,  , ‘to shine, light, glitter’; corresponding to  glîtan, to which  glitmunjan,  glita, glitra ( to glitter), ‘to shine.’ The  root ghlī̆d (pre- ghlī̆d) appears also in.   ,, ‘hypocrite,’ from the  gelîchesenœre, allied to older  , ‘to dissemble.’ The latter is from  glîhsen, gelîchesen,  gilîhhisôn, ‘to dissemble’;  ‘to be equal to any one’ (from ),  to the  parallel form gelîchsensen. further simulare, allied to similis.  ,, ‘to glide, slide, slip,’ from the  glîten,  glîtan,  ; corresponding to  glîdan,  glijden, glijen,  glîdan,  to glide. Although the roots of (Aryan ghlī̆-t) and  (Aryan ghladh) are as indubitably allied as those of  and, it is impossible to determine the relation between them more definitely.  ,, ‘glacier,’ first occurs in early , adopted from a Swiss word, which was again obtained from glacier. ,, .   ,, from the  gelit(d),  and ,  gilid, , ‘limb, joint’ (in  ‘member’ also); likewise in the same sense, mostly without , , lit(d),  lid, , ; corresponding to  lith,  lid (and gelid),  lið,  (liþus, ‘limb.’ The common  stem liþu is ordinarily referred to an  root lī̆þ, ‘to go’ (see , ), which is scarcely possible, because  cannot  have been confined to the feet. Besides li- must be the root and -þu-) (for Aryan -tu-) the suffix, on account of the  words formed with the suffix m,   li-mr, ‘limb,’ lim, ‘twig,’  lim,  limb. Also allied perhaps to lëmǔ, ‘stature, growth’ (as well as lělas, ‘tall, slender’?),. —   ,, ‘limbs,’ from lidemâȥ, gelidemœȥe, ‘limb’; corresponding to  lithmâta,  lidmaat, ledemaat. The meaning of the second part of the compound is not clear ( gelidemâȥe,, signifies ‘length of body’). liþa-, mót, liðamǒt, ‘limbs.’  ,, ‘to shine dimly, glimmer,’ from glimmen,  , ‘to glow, glimmer,’ allied to  glamme, , ‘glow,’ glim, ‘spark’ ( *glimman); corresponding to  glimmen; also  gleimo,  gleime, ‘glowworm’ (whence the proper name ),  glîmen, ‘to light, shine,  glîmo, ‘gleam.’ To the  and  glimmern correspondent  *glimorian,  to glimmer, to which  gleam ( glœ̂m) is allied. The root glimm, glī̆-m., contained in these cognates, is perhaps lengthened from a root glī̆ (  gljá, ‘to shine’), with which  χλιαρός, ‘warm,’ χλιαένω, ‘to warm,’ as well as  gle (from the  form gleivo-), ‘shining, clear,’ may be connected.  ,, ‘moderation, lenity,’ from glimpf, gelimpf, , ‘consistent, courteous demeanour generally,’  gilimpf, ‘fitness’; to these are allied  gilimpflîh,  gelimpflich, ‘consistent,’ whence the   ; akin to  gilimpfan,  gelimpfen, ‘to be suitable’ (in  also ‘to make suitable’);   gelimpan, ‘to occur.’ The West  root limp in an appropriate sense has not been found in the non- languages. <section end="Glimpf" /> ,, ‘to glitter, glisten,’ from the  glitzern, frequentative of  glitzen, ‘to shine’;   glizzinôn; allied to ,  gliȥȥan. *glitorian, to glitter,  glitra, ‘to shine,’ are similarly formed. <section begin="Glocke" /> ,, ‘bell, (public) clock,’ from the  glocke,  glocka (never chloccha), ; corresponding to  klok,  clugge, clucce,  clock,  klukka, , ‘bell’; not  a  word, since  chlocchôn, ‘to knock,’ cannot well be allied. The clocca recorded in the 8th, from which  cloche (in  campana) is derived, is probably due, like the  cognates, to  origin; <section end="Glocke" />
