"gelus" meaning in Proto-Celtic

See gelus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Cognacy with Sanskrit जलूका (jalūkā), via a putative *ǵelu- (“leech”), has long been speculated. However, the Sanskrit word has also been given incompatible alternative etymologies. GPC's identification with *gʷeleti (“to graze”) (whence Old Irish gelid) is phonetically impossible, as *gʷ normally yields *gw- in Brittonic.
