Comments: This word has other secondary meanings: 'eave (of roof)', edge (of table)', 'brim (of hat)', etc. Cf. *hega- 'to fly', which may have contaminated this word (i.e., original *e=gal, changed to *hegal). The magal forms are either blended with *maga-l 'lap, flank' (q.v.), or a prefixed formation with the fossilized prefix *ma=.
