I was researching a bit the "Vestini tribe" in Italy, reading that they spoke an "Oscan" dialect. On the wiki-page about Oscan I found this mention of Gher, with exactly the same meaning. Isn't that interesting? I have to dive deeper but just wanted to leave this here, because there is a connection.

"General characteristics
Oscan speakers came into close contact with the Latium population.[17] Early Latin texts have been discovered nearby major Oscan settlements. For example, the Garigliano Bowl was found close to Minturnae, less than 40 kilometers from Capua, which was once a large Oscan settlement.[17] Oscan had much in common with Latin, though there are also many striking differences, and many common word-groups in Latin were absent or represented by entirely different forms. For example, Latin volo, velle, volui, and other such forms from the Proto-Indo-European root *wel- ('to will') were represented by words derived from *gher ('to desire'): Oscan herest ('(s)he shall want, (s)he shall desire', German cognate 'begehren', English cognate 'yearn') as opposed to Latin volent (id.). Latin locus (place) was absent and represented by the hapax slaagid (place), which Italian linguist Alberto Manco has linked to a surviving local toponym.[18]
That's interesting. Thank you!
