galu

noun. (?) blessings, (?) blessedness, (?) good fortune (meaning not entirely clear)

galu

noun. increase, growth; good fortune, blessedness, blessings

@@@ here the gloss is from the deleted form of the word N. galw (EtyAC/GAL²); in HSD the meaning is speculated to be the same as alma or almare: “?good fortune, blessedness, blessings”, but for these meanings I would suggest using ᴺS. alvar “(good) luck, fortune”, ᴺS. elias “blessedness” or ᴺS. eliad “blessing”. Cannot be plausibly derived from galmā, but might be from galwā.
