Etymology
Uncertain. Possibly Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF., or perhaps from a Proto-Indo-European *gag-, with cognates including Lithuanian gōgas.
