try to find out what about Artemis before she was considered to be the
godess of the huntress.. so far I remember, she was a deity of the
storm; secondly, Zamolxis was not one and the same with Gebleizis, even
in wiki you can find some kind of informations. I see also that the
paralelism zemele/gebele has been already mentioned by Kretschmer
too.(http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebeleizis)
Unfortunately the english version of wiki here is too short and does not
mention this aspect.
