Robert Beekes concludes that γαυσός (gausos) 'crooked, bent outward' (Hp.) the word is from Pre-Greek.
The word shares form with βλαισός (blaisós, "crooked") and λοξός (loxós, "oblique"). The surname has been compared with γαυλός (gaulós), γύρος (gúros) and γύαλον (gúalon) without success. According to Beekes, the word is from pre-Greek.
Beekes writes:
"For the suffix, cf. βλαισός, λοξός, etc (Chantraine 1933: 434). γαυσός has been compared with γαυλός, which is semantically impossible, and with γυρός, γύαλον (from a PIE root *geu- 'curve, etc.') , which is formally impossible. The origin of the word is rather to be sought in pre-Greek"
In this group of words, nouns, adjectives and verbs in the Albanian language are these words:
*ul, *kërrus, *kurriz, *tkurr, *shtrembër, *lak.

Orel rightly writes that *kërrus comes from the Proto-Albanian *karnutja, based on a nominal derivative in *-ut-, related to Old Greek κυρτός (kurtós, “curved, bent”), Latin curvus (“id”).
It seems clear that Albanian and old "Greek" are very close in form and meaning.
