Etymology
1. From Old Norse gljúfr, possibly from Proto-Germanic *gleubō-, *gleubaz, *glub, *gleub-, from Pre-Germanic *glub (“slit, opening”), from a substrate language. See also Dutch glop (“opening, hole”) and gleuf (“slit”).
2. However, also compare gleypa (“to gulp”), from *gleupan, *glūpan. See: Old Norse Nouns '
gljúfr', Dutch Nouns '
glop'.
