Note.—gala with many other words containing a
guttural + Uquid element belongs to the onomatopoetic
roots kl gl (kr gr), usually reduphcated (iterative), the
main appUcarions of which are the following
1. The (sounding) throat in designation of swallowing,
mostly with a dark (guttural) vowel : gulp, belch,
gargle, gurgle.
2. The sound produced by the throat (voice) or
sound in general, particularly of noises or sounds either
inarticulate, confused & indehnable or natural sounds
striking enough per se to form a sufficient means ol
recognition (i. e. name) of the animal which utters thi".
sound (cuckoo, e. g.). To be divided into:
A. palatal group (" hght " soundo) : squeak, yell
giggle, etc., applied to — (n) Animate Nature: tho
cackhng, crowing noise of Palmipeds (it related birds,
reminding of laughter (heron, hen, cock ;. cp.
Lat. gaUus) — (6) Inanimate Nature : the
P. koiica.
grinding,
nibbUng, trickhng, dripping, fizzing noises or sounds
(P. galati, etc.).
B. guttural group (" dark " sounds) ; groan, growl,
howl, etc., appl' to — (a) Animate N. : the snorting,
grunting noise of the Pachyderms & related quadrupeds
(elephant, op. P. koiica, kuiijara pig, boar) — ;
(6) Inanimate
N. : the roaring, crashing, thundering noises (P.
galagalayati, ghurughurayati).
3. The sound as indicating motion (produced by
motion)
A. palatal group (" sharp " sounds, characteristic of
quick motion : whizz, spin, whirl) : P. gaggaraka whirlpool,
Gr. «pri(; spindle, bobbin.
B. guttural group (" dull " sounds, characteristic of
slow and heavy motion : roll, thud, thunder). Sometimes
with eUmination of the sound-element appl"* to
swelling & fullness, as in " bulge " or Gr. t!(paf,ayi.o
(be full).
These three categories are not always kept clearly
separate, so that often a palatal group shifts into the
sphere of a guttural one «i vice versa. — The formation
of 1^1 gj roots is by no means an extinct process,
nor is it restricted to any special branch of a linguistic
family, as examples show. The main roots of Idg.
origin are the foil, which are all represented in Pali —
