it becomes quite credible that 'gora' can be associated with 'angora'.
But why stop there. Russian гора (gora) 'mountain' must be connected too; think 'mountain goat' and English ghoul because all ghosts are pale. And then there's the inventor of the internets, former VP Al Gore. His name must mean mohair which in turn is etymolgized as mo' hair than, for example, former POTUS Gerald Ford. Yes, throwing out the comparative-historical method by means of which the histories of words are coaxed out to the winds, leaves plenty of time for the free association school of all words are connected. The patron saint of this movement is Isidore of Seville whose Origines which see. It's no coinkydinky that Isidore is the patron saint of internet; vide Gore supra. Enjoy!
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
