"geaflas" meaning in Old English

See geaflas in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈjæ͜ɑf.lɑs/, [ˈjæ͜ɑv.lɑs]
Etymology: Uncertain. The form suggests derivation from Proto-West Germanic *gabl (“jaw”), yet no known cognates in other Germanic languages exist outside of West Frisian gaffel (“gape, jaw, bevel”). Alternatively, perhaps a dissimilation or blend of Old English ġeagl (“jaw, jowl”) and ċeafl (“jaw”).
