globus c (singular definite globussen, plural indefinite globusser)

1. globe

• globe c

Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“form into a ball; ball”), but if so it may have to be via some substrate loan which was also absorbed by other Indo-European branches, based on the unexplained suffix and variants. Apparently cognate with Latin glaeba (“lump of earth, clod”) (see there for more),^[1] glomus, Sanskrit ग्लुन्थ (gluntha, “lump”), and Proto-Germanic *klumpô (“mass, lump, clump; clasp”), but the derivational morphologies of all such words are uncertain. Likely sound-symbolic in any case.
