Etymology

edit

A term found in the alleged Euphratic substrate theory, which connects it back to Proto-Indo-European *gl̥h₁éys (mouse, weasel), possibly via accusative *gl̥h₁ḗm. However, concurring with the opinion of Pennsylvania State University's Dr. Rubio, the borrowing from multiple languages rather than a specific substratum is now the predominant viewpoint in the field.
