I should be more specific:

The bukser ("pants") should be boiled whole.

The only thing I understood is the picture
which I surmised to be a 3-D model of Scandinavia made with fish-roe.
Is it the idea you had in mind ?

No but 'blæksprutte', the Danish name for octopus, squid, and
cuttlefish was given because when they are frightened, they squirt
('sprutte') a lot of ink ('blæk') in the hope of confusing the enemy.

HmHm, I see,
You must have a strong veneration for these animals,
Sometimes you behave like one of them !

How about *gWu(n)t-, then we have a root for Engl. gut ?

I prefer to stick with the meaning fish-roe :
Cf. Uralic
Proto: *kuDe-
English meaning: to spawn
German meaning: laichen
Finnish: kute- 'laichen', kuti 'laichende Menge; lärmender Haufen', kutu
'Laich'
Estonian: kude- 'laichen'
Saam (Lapp): gǫđđa^- -đ- (N), kåtē- (L)
Komi (Zyrian): kuĺmi̮-
Khanty (Ostyak): kɔj- (V), ẋuj- (DN), ẋǫj- (Kaz.)
Also
Eskimo *qaC^aRaR fish-roe
How large is the area where the language of geminates was spoken ?

'Another etymon that may originally have belonged to the language of
geminates is *sugh-, *sug-, *su:k- 'to suck', which is found in Italic
(Latin su:gere 'to suck', su:cus 'sap'), Celtic (Welsh sugno 'to suck'
< *seuk-, Old Irish súgid < *su:g(h)-), Baltic (Latvian sùkt 'to
suck') and, notably, Germanic (Old English su:can, Dutch zuiken <
*su:g-, Old English socian 'to soak' < *sug-; Old English and Old High
German su:gan 'to suck' < *su:k/gh-, with various ablaut grades; and
also Germanic *su:p- > Germ. saufen, *supp- > German Suppe, etc.). An
interchange of voiced and voiceless velar stops and also of velar and
labial stops is one of the characteristics of the language of
geminates, as Kuiper has pointed out.'
Hehehe!

You little BlAksprutte !
There is no alternation here in *gw(o)H2-t
It's a super-cognate.
