I've moved to Vienna for the time being, leaving my home library behind,
which is also a slight handicap, but words derived from *gHal- often
refer to magical incantations in Germanic, cf. OE gealdor 'charm, song
of enchantment' < *gHal-trom. This sense, possibly, is what we find in
*naxti-Galan- (*-gHal-on-) , given the inadvertent yet strong effect of
the nightingale' s song on the human brain.
