Is it possible a relationship between PGermanic *gaitaz "goat" (cf. Latin haedus, pointing to Western IE *gHaidos) and PGerm *kiDjam, kitti:n "kid" (pointing to IE *gidH-). I've already read that IE gHaido was from Semitic gady. Maybe *gHaido and *gidH- may represent two divergent borrowings from a common source. What do you think?
