I have written in the past too:
I started from Zamolxis and Gebelezis and I splitted in:
a) a.1) Zamo- a.2) Gebe-
b) b.1) -lxis b.2) -le(i)zis
From here the similarities started to appear in much an obvious way
For a) DZem- seems to be the ancien fonetic Common Form
and I have applied
e/accented > ya or ye (Diegis, Dielleina, Skyare)
dzy > g^y or dzy
m > mB > m or b (Museous~Buzau, Tibisia~Timis)
Where :
a.1) DZem- > [ e/accented > ya] > *DZyam (attested Zam-)
a.2) DZem- > [ e/accented > ye] > DZjemb > G^emb- (attested Geb- )
This first the root seems to be related to
PIE dHg^Hem- 'earth' > DZem-
For b) b.1) -lxis b.2) -le(i)zis *ledz-sk-is seems to be the common form
a.1) *-ledz-sk-is > -ldzksis > -lxis
a.1) *le(i)dz-sk-is > -le(i)dzis > -le(i)dzis
This second root seems to be related to
PIE leig^- 'to bind, to tie' > *leg^H-sk-i-s
So Probably the real pronunciations was closer too:
DZyamw& -ldzksis
DZyemBwe-ledzksis ~ G^ebwe-ledzksis
===> 'The Tied-one in the earth' ' "The Bind-one in the earth'
In Romanian the meaning would be 'Cel legat in t,&r^an&'
