Alternative etymology
Apparently the usual PIE root given contains a laryngeal, which makes it unlikely that is derived from it; it could only give Germanic **gab-, **gēb-, or **gōb-, I think. Unless maybe this is an example of the vowel changing place, ? Is that Schwebeablaut?

Kroonen favors the etymology put forward by Kortlandt, that this verb is a remodeling of, from PIE , whence also Latin (< ). Anglom (talk) 23:56, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
