Then why did you mention Lat. gaudeo? I wasn't aware of
gaudeo also meaning tickle/titillate.

My dictionary say something a bit different, concerning
the verb "gudura": "compare with Albanian *gudulis*
and (in brackets) with Neo-Greek *gudulo*. (In the
figurative sense, "a se gudura pe lânga cineva" means
"to curry favor".)

Anyway, it's less probable that <gudura-gudulis-gudulo>
can be put into relationship with A. <kudër> and R. <guda>

I thoght I should insist on adding "regional," since
my old dictionary doesn't include guda [gud&] "bitch"
at all. Does your DEX (which is quite recent)?
