Golette
Gole is a form of West French gueule (snout), typical of Norman, Gallos and "Poitevin" French. Golette is formed with the suffix -ette meaning little. In the Middle Ages it was pronounced "gwolette" that gave wallet in Anglo-Norman French. Indeed a wallet is like a small snout which swallows coins. Littré : la gueule du sac means "l'entrée du sac".
