Proto-Indo-European edit

Etymology edit

Formally unable to be related to Proto-Indo-European *kl̥H- (“bald, naked”); however, the superficial phonetic and semantic resemblance of the two roots, as well as the existence of words meaning "bald" (a non-basic vocabulary term) in various descendants of both roots via the same suffixing pattern of -wó-s, is striking.[1]

Root edit

*gelH-[2]

  1. naked
  2. head
