The only angel so-named in the Bible is GABRIEL

גבריאל

The first part of the name is גבר and a cognate of κύριος ( κύρ - κϝρ - κβρ - גבר )
also the ג drops out and ב becomes מ and becomes the Aramaic word for Lord.

Genesis 16:4 : גברתה - κυρία "lady of the house"
1 Kings 11:19 : הגבירה - ἧ κυρία

גבר (κόρος) - honorific title for boys and young men e.g. Master

Genesis 11:30 - Sarai was barren(עקר )
- עקר = ἄκουρος "childless"

κόρος
- κείρω "of one who has cut his hair short on emerging from boyhood"
- קרח "Shaven"
--φαλακρός "Bald-headed"
-הכרי "Young Mercenaries"
-ἐπίκουρος "Young Mercenaries"
-זכר "man"

The effeminate form of זכר is נקב from the root κόπτω "Cut"

κοῦρος - twigs stripped from a tree,
ἐπικόπτω - of trees (ξύλα)

ξύλα/צלע (Gen 2:22)
ξυλον/צלמ (Gen 1:27)

גלגל = גל-גל, namely two גלים, two mounds, one up and one down to complete a circle.
קל is a variant of גל, 'rising'.
מלכקרת = מלכ-קרת, 'the ruler מלכ of the city קרת'
קֵרֵחַ, 'shaven', has nothing to do with קֶרַח, 'ice, hail'.

גל - Bowl
גלל - Roll
גלגל - Round

In the Gospel of Mark in 15:46 the word rolled is προσκυλίω
from the root κυλίω (גל) "Roll along".

The Hebrew word for Cylinder is גליון (gillayown) , same as κυλίνδρων (Kulindron)

קרח (qerach) same as κρύος (Kruos) "icy cold, frost" but also cognate
with the English words, "Frost, Frozen, Fridge, Glass, Jelly, Gold "

קרח גלל - κρύσταλλον

The word Anthrax came from עינ קרח (ayin qrach) "Beryl" (ἄνθρακος )
*Gen 2:12, Numbers 11:7 , Exodus 16:31, Ezekiel 1:16, Ezekiel 10:9

Does a גל, 'mound', "Roll along"?
Is a גלגל "round"? What is actually "round"?

Mounds are circular.

In Jonah 2:4 we read
וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי מְצוּלָה בִּלְבַב יַמִּים וְנָהָר יְסֹבְבֵנִי כָּל מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ וְגַלֶּיךָ עָלַי עָבָרוּ
Are these גלים of the high seas also "circular".

κυλίω, κυλίνδω (גל) - to be whirled round

Odysseus 2.163, 8.81
κυλίνδεται - toss like a ship at sea"

גלים also the ancient Hebrew word for tortoise shell.

The word לבב in Jonah 2:3 is the word for "Heart" and yet describes the sea because
לבב is κόλπου.

κόλπου
Any bosom-like hollow,
Of the sea (Lliad 6:613, Odyseus 4:435)
Of the Heart (Aristotle GA530b7)

κόλπου > λπυ > לבב

The cognate is confirmed in Arabic as the K is retained in قلب (qalb)

κόλ/גל.
