Also, gimel is the third letter of the Hebrew alphabet, but I don't know what it means or if it fits in.
Did Tolkien know Hebrew? If he did...well, I can't find anything symbolic about the letter gimel, though it is rather strange/funny, that if Gimli were translated into Hebrew, it would probably sound more like "Gimeli" than like "Gimli".
