In another list (linguistica romanica)  there was this answer :
Arganaz< Greek argeia "laziness, sloth". "Arganaz" substituted the usual Portuguese "leira~o" (<glirone < glis). I dont know if this Greek explanation of arganaz is correct, but it seems likely.

This goes to our lusophone friends: I'm looking for the ethymology of the word "arganaz", someone in another mail list has asked but there seems not to be any lusophone subscriptor.
 
May Joao help us?

Subject: [tied] Mountain - gWri-

Is there some Germanic, Celtic and Italic cognate of IE *gWeri- "mountain"?
 
Latin forms would be something like -gria, -voria, -veria, -varia, with Osco-Umbrian -bria (Umbria?)
 
Are there another IE words for "mountain, mount, hill" ?
