GULCH. Gulch, says Whalley, is a stupid fat-headed fellow. The word occurs in the old You muddy gulch, darest comedy of Lingua; look me in the face?" (Act v. sc. 16.) Skinner calls Gulchin, parvus gulo, and derives it from the Ger. Geck, foolish.

A GU'LED. word, says Du Cange, which our heralds frequently use to denote a red colour in arms or ensigns; Skinner thinks it may be so called from the redness of a cock's throat, (gutturis Galli.) Mr. Steevens, who produces the verb from Heywood, calls it a term in the barbarous jargon peculiar to Heraldry, signifying red.

GULF, or GULPH. GU'LPH, V. GU'LPHY.

J. Philips. Cider, b. ii. Fr. Golfe, gouffre; Sp. and It. Golfo; Dut. Golpe, gurges, vorago; Golpen, ingurgitare, avide haurire, haustim bibere. The French and Dutch are said by Skinner to be either from the Lat. Gula, the Gr. Koλros, or from the sound; and the last, he thinks, the more probable. Menage decides for the Gr. Koλmos; the Italian and French, however, do not take immediately from the Greek, but through the Latin. The Fr. Gouffre is derived by Wachter from Ger. Gaffen; A. S. Ge-apan, to gape, (qv.) to open. In Norfolk, a mow or bayfull of a barn is called a gulph, and a bay or division of a barn, a gulphstead, goaf-stead, or go-stead, (Grose.)

Gulf, or Gulph, is used as equivalent to the Latin words sinus and gurges.

A bay; a whirlpool, or "depth that swallows up whatsoever approaches or comes into it."
