    Reconstruction notes

    This Proto-Indo-European word has been proposed as the source of Sumerian 𒄑𒇀 (ĜIŠGIGIR, chariot), Aramaic and Hebrew גַּלְגַּל (galgal, anything that rolls; wheel) (but compare גָּלַל (gālal, to roll)), and Proto-Kartvelian *grgar. The similarly shaped Chinese 軲轆 / 轱辘 (*guk luk) is only attested in the last few centuries and may be the result of convergent onomatopoeic derivation. Instead, the undetermined (*kla, chariot” > “car) may be a borrowing from a descendant form of this root from the spread of the chariot. See Chariot (China).
