δέλεαρ decoy, bait *gʷelh₁- to swallow; throat *gʷerh₃- to devour, eat gula throat

noun feminine ōn-stem throat From Proto-Indo-European *gʷelh₁- (‘to swallow; throat’). Cognate with Latin gula (‘throat’), Ancient Greek δέλεαρ (délear, ‘decoy, bait’), Old Armenian կլանեմ (klanem, ‘to swallow’), as well as perhaps Russian глота́ть (glotátʹ, ‘to swallow, gulp’), Persian گلو (galu, ‘throat’), Hindi गला (galā, ‘neck, throat’). The phonetic and semantic similarity of the root to Proto-Indo-European *gʷerh₃- (‘to devour, eat’) is notable, though difficult to reconcile formally.
