Origins

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *gʷel- (“throat”), although De Vaan is skeptical of this root and suggests onomatopoeic *gul-/*glu- may have arisen separately multiple times. Compare Latin gula (“throat”), gluttiō (“to gulp down”), Russian глотка (glotka, “throat”) and Persian گلو (“throat”).
