Etymology: The formation of γαλέη shows that the word originally indicated the skin, cf. ἀλωπεκ-έη etc. (Chantr. Form. 91), cf. Lat. galea below. The basis is unknown. One compares Lat. glīs `dormouse' and Skt. giri-, girikā f. `mouse' (lexic.; prob. it did not exist, Mayrhofer EWAia1, 488; γαλ-ιδεύς, γαλι-άγκων do not prove a Greek ι-stem, s. above). γαλ- could be *glH-, and Lat. glīs perhaps *glHi- (Schrijver, Laryngeals 242), but this remains uncertain. γαλέη must not be IE. On the IE word (*ḱormen-_) see Pok. 573, EIEC 638 - Not to Welsh bele `weasel' (pace Schwyzer 299; cf. W.-Hofmann s. fēlēs). - The original meaning `weasel-skin' in Lat. galea `leather helmet', cf. κυνέη prop. `dog-skin'. - From γαλέη also Ital. galea, -ia, Dutch galei etc., a ship (for its speed); cf. γαλία εἶδος πλοίου λῃστρικοῦ H.; cf. also Germ. Galeere; but see H. and R. Kahane, FS Wartburg 1958, 428-439: rather form γαλεός `shark' with the comment of Szemerényi, Gnomon 43 (1971) 663 s.v. γαλέη: as Lat. galea also means `vessel', this word could have been used as `ship'.
