Etymology

Proto-Indo-European *gʷelH- (ablauted to *gʷol-). Cognates: Lithuanian gãlas (“id.”), Old Prussian gallan (acc.), golis (“death”), Old Norse kveld (“evening, end of the day”), etc.

Semantic development:

1. "to stab" > "to kill" > "death", from here the verbs galēt (“to slay”), galināt, nogalināt (“to kill”), the same development in Proto-West Germanic *kwalm also from *gʷol-
2. "to stab" > "a sharp point, tip, end."
