Coming soon: English posts on language and linguistics, language archaeology, frequentatives, onomastics and wikigovernment; ainsi que des billets français sur le Brésil et l'histoire des vigésimaux. Simple.
Guzzle
Another contender for frequentativity. Suggested as related to Fr. gosier, throat, or to Fr. gosiller, chirp (sing, eg like nightingale) which disappeared from use in favor of s'égosiller, emphasizing a more vigorous output through joy or anger, but this outward direction seems unlikely to generate un inward-directing action and I suspect a more probabe direct adaptation from gosier, as in to 'enthroat'. No clear evidence.
