Greetings to all (especially Harold and Jack)
Thankyou for your kind replies. It is encouraging to see that further
research has clarified this matter, but many a publication is still
purporting the previous view (hence my question - I dont have a great local
library).
Nevertheless, if I may extrapolate: I believe gamel is derived from a
similar sounding primary root [pardon my failure to correctly transliterate
it], meaning to treat a person, benefit or requite, serve yield etc.
Could other burden bearing animals be described in the same manner?
I hope this hypothetical speculation is not to far 'out of bounds' of the
groups policies.
