===Etymology===
Of {{uncertain|la|nocap=1}} origin.
Perhaps from {{der|la|ine-pro|*gʰabʰl-||fork, branch of tree}} due to the similarity of a hawk's claws to a pitchfork; compare {{cog|goh|gabila}}, {{m|goh|gabala||sparrow hawk}}.▼
One theory, preferred by De Vaan, derives the word from {{inh|la|ine-pro||*gowh₂-i-|t=shouter}}, seemingly from either {{m|ine-pro|*geH-|t=to sing, cry}} or {{m|ine-pro|*gewH-|t=to call, cry out}}, and adduces as cognates {{cog|sa|गु|t=to proclaim}}, {{cog|grc|γοάω|t=to groan, weep}}, {{cog|sla-pro|*gȍvorъ|t=grumble, talk}}, and perhaps {{cog|ang|ċīeġan|t=to call}}. He also mentions an alternative connection to {{m|la|gaius|t=jaybird}}, via an independent {{onomatopoeia|la|nocap=1}} root in {{der|la|itc-pro||*gā̆-}}.<ref>{{R:itc:EDL|page=256|head=gā̆via}}</ref>
