"gauge" yes, is English. You typed "jauge", which is the French cognate of the word (and I typed "jauge" which is the dyslexic version of the French word), and I was curious if that meant that you spoke French - it was just a curiosity. As for your meaning, I really like your analysis, and I think that you've made some of the best theories in this thread, and I hope that you keep spending time on it, because your discoveries might be good for all of us.
