The reflex of *gaisaz in OE is 'gar' (spear) now 'gore' in the technical sense of a V-shaped slit.

*gHaiso- occurs only in Celtic and Germanic with the meaning 'spear, javelin' (Latin gaesum, Gk. gaison ~  gaisos 'javelin' are of course loans from Gaulish). But Gk. kHaion 'shepherd's staff' (< *gHaisom) is a likely cognate.

Does it have a reflex in English?
 
What is the relation between Latin 'gladius' and Welsh 'cledd' (=sword, from '*cladobio', according to University of Wales Dictionary)?
