"gelH-" meaning in All languages combined

See gelH- on Wiktionary

Root [Proto-Indo-European]

Etymology: 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.
