The Hebrew root ג.ו.ל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/לגלול-#.m4a” /] is about roundness. We see it in the word for marbles – גולות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/לגלול-#.m4a” /].

ג.ו.ל sometimes appears as another root – ג.ל.ל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/לגלול-#.m4a” /], as in the simple verb to scroll – לגלול[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/לגלול-#.m4a” /]:

You need to scroll to the end of the page.

ג.ל.ל is also the root of the word מגילה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/לגלול-#.m4a” /], the scroll from which Jews read the Story of Esther.
