Funnily enough Jakko, I’ve been reading up on the roots of my dialect. The word “Gurt” in West Country dialect comes from Anglo Saxon, along with many other phrases, so has the same roots as the German word “gurt”. Seems they have more in common than we thought….Somehow I don’t think the Germans named it after that
I remember being introduced to the word 'gurt' at University by my Bristolian flatmates ("that's gurt lush"). They Remain some of my closest friends, and the word firmly lodged in my vocabulary.
Did they put an L on the end of any word ending in a vowel as well? A mate of mine used to talk about Gorillals and Llamals, for example….

Comparative etymology is always interesting, if you ask me
Especially when you find out that similar words that have pretty different meanings are related anyway.For an insight into european languages look up indo european .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages
