גלגלת GooLGoLeT (skull, head - Exodus 16:16) is named for its shape. Rolling backwards towards the 2-letter root, סגלגל $’GahLGahL is elliptical or oval; עגל [A]GoaL is round; גל GahL is a wave or mound. The lexicographers scratch their head over this, not seeming to know that the initial S is bogus for most SK and SC words. The best they come up with for "skull" is an SKL term for a shell in Scandinavian dialect.Linguists should have taken a hint from the Greek Bible's GOLGOTHA (a hill in Jerusalem called Place of the Skull). Less gruesome is a scene of large white birds riding the waves at the beach. The bird called a GULL. ------------ No beaches, but big wavy hills here in the aptly named גליל GaLIL (Galilee).
