@CodeCat, should this be marked as an alternative form of *gallō or what? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:16, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- Probably, though the relationship between the two is more puzzling. —CodeCat 21:18, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- It's not rare for a change in gender to occur in one Descendant vs. the others. If one is an outlier, as OE is in this case, I usu put it on the other page, and make a note that it comes from the alt form. No sense in having this entry when the other will do right ?

- It's more than just gender, it's also a change in inflection. —CodeCat 21:27, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@Rua A lot of sources seem to think this is from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃-. I noticed that someone tried to add that here but you reverted it. Does it not work? Djkcel (talk) 13:32, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
