keel

Etymology

Of uncertain origin. Perhaps related to *kelǭ (‘throat’). Kluge compares Ancient Greek γαυλός γαυλός (gaulós) , which itself has been connected to *keulaz (‘ship’), while Orel compares Old Irish gelid (‘to swallow, eat’), gaile (‘stomach’) (though these two terms are thought to not be cognate with each other).
