Further to Ron's question, does anybody know if a word related to "ganz" 
made it into Old, Middle or even Modern English?  I can't think of one.

There's a village in Norfolk called Claxby Pluckacre (really!) which
Ekwall attributes to its heavy clay soil, with this root.

Claggy I knew in my childhood (Northants, with a Notts father).

Cheers,

>(By the way, Old German, too, used _heil_ as one of its words for 'whole',

nowadays meaning 'intact', 'healthy'.)<

+And in English ' hale and hearty' i.e.  feeling well, on top form -
somewhat old fashioned but still to be heard/found.

It is as far as I can recall the only use left in English of 'hale' =
'heil'= healthy ..... unless someone  knows another!

What about "to heal" and related words (cf. German _heilen_, _Heilung_, 
etc., "to make whole"), including "health"?
