UrsprungFrom *ǵh₂r-, zero grade of Proto-Indo-European *ǵeh₂r- (“to shout, call”).
Cognate with Ancient Greek γῆρυς (gêrus, “voice, speech”), Khotanese [script needed] (ysār-, “to sing”), Latin garriō (“chatter”), Old English caru (“sorrow”).
Arguably related to Garmr and Sanskrit घर्घर (gharghara).
- to speak in an angry, shouting manner (often when scolding, complaining, or the like)
“En lärare kom in och började gorma när han såg vad vi gjort” — A teacher came in and started shouting at us when he saw what we had done
- to rant
“Han kan gorma hur mycket han vill. Vi har lagen på vår sida.” — He can rant as much as he likes. We have the law on our side.
