"γέλγις" meaning in Ancient Greek

See γέλγις in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡél.ɡiːs/, /ˈʝel.ʝis/, /ˈʝel.ʝis/, /ɡél.ɡiːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈɡel.ɡis/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈʝel.ʝis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈʝel.ʝis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈʝel.ʝis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Frequently assumed to be a reduplicated formation, with Beekes concluding it to be Pre-Greek. Kroonen (2012) suggests an ultimate Akkadian etymology of the word, comparing it to Arabic جَدِيلَة (jadīla, “braid”). He assumes a metathesis from a by-form *γέγλις, from which he reconstructs *γέδλις, which he compares to Akkadian 𒄀𒀉𒇻 (/⁠gidlu⁠/, “string of garlic or onions”). In any case, definitely related to ἄγλις (áglis, “clove of garlic”) – see there for more.
