Summary
For the position of the vocal organs in pronouncing this letter see under C. Marius Vict. p. 33 K, after describing the manner of pronouncing c, says g vim prioris pari linguae habitu suggerens lenius reddit. Mart. Cap. 3. 261 says g spiritus (reddit) cum palato. As an abbreviation, G may stand for Gaius, Gallia, gemina, genius, garum.
Gabbara, -ae, f., a mummy: Gloss, ap. Mai Cl. Auct. 6 ‘gabbares’ (= gabbarae) mortuorum condita corpora. Augustin. Serm. 361. 12 gabbaras ea (corpora) vocant.
Gabbarus, = insulsus, barbarus: Gloss, ap. Mai Cl. Auct. 6.
Gallicula, Galliciola, Gallaciola: read in good MSS. of Placidus p. 49 D, and glossed as = cortice nucis iuglandis viridis, per quem corpus humanum intellegi vult. Comp. Gloss. Philox. gutulliocae (sic) κάρυα μακρά, παρὰ ∧ουκιλλίῳ, gulluca καροιοτομία. (Löwe, P. G. p. 298 foll., identifies this gloss with gullioca, and would correct both into callicula from callus; but see culliolum.)
Gallŭlo, -ăs, to come to puberty: Nonius p. 116 (according to the MSS.) ‘gallulare’ pubescere; but the instance which he quotes from Novius has cuius vox gallulascit. (Probably two glosses in Nonius have been confused, one on gallulo, the other on gallulasco.)
Galmŭla, -ae, subst. f.: glossed as = allec (i. e. alium) herba illa quae similis est porro, by Osbern ap. Mai Cl. Auct. 8. p. 262; comp. Gloss. Epinal. p. 10 E. 15, 32 galmum molegn: galmilla limmolegn.
