Etymology

According to Furnée, a Pre-Greek word, due to the variation "α/ε". According to Beekes, there is a similarity with Proto-Germanic *glasą (“glass”) and the first two syllables of Latin sualiternicum (“a kind of reddish amber”);[1] a relation with the Germanic term is difficult to reconcile, however, due to the Germanic term having an acceptable internal (non-borrowing) derivation.
