"Galgal (H1534) – Whirlwind; wheel. From a root meaning to go around in circles."
"Gal (H1530 from 1556) – Billow, mound, heap, wave, gushing water."
Sounds like the Great Flood cataclysm during the Saturn system breakup.
_JP: The issue is demonstrating that gal(gal) is associated with the Flood narrative.Whilst never used directly of the Mabbul of Genesis 7-8, it is used of cataclysmic forces in Psalm 77:18 and again in Isaiah 17:13. In Jeremiah 47:3 it is used in association with a flooding torrent (verse 2), but the context with 'chariots' infers that 'wheels' and not 'whirlwinds' is intended.

"Tehom (H8415 from H1949) - Deep sea, from a root meaning roaring, loud or tumultuous."
Brigit said it only means the sea, but if other early cultures equated it with the sky, then that may still have been the original meaning.
_JP: Brigit's analysis of Tehom could have gone much further than it did. One needs to establish from the usage in Tehom that it did mean a celestial sense of the roaring, black sea of space, as opposed to the roaring, black seas of water, rather than simply could have meant it. I think Brigit's points stand. I will delve further into this later as I do not have time to analyse it right now.

"Liviathan (H3882 from H3867) – Leviathan, dragon, sea monster. From a root meaning to twist or tie tightly together in a circle. See Job 41:1-34."
Sounds like the "ouroboros": a circular symbol depicting a snake, or less commonly a dragon, swallowing its tail, as an emblem of wholeness or infinity, which is the same as the Aten, the enclosure around early Saturn formed by the cometary debris from Venus.
_JP: I actually had the same impression and figured this could use its own in-depth study. There have been many attempts throughout the history of Biblical scholarship to identify exactly what the Hebrew 'leviathan' was, and I feel this could do with a whole new study in the light of Peratt and van der Sluij's plasma cosmology. Again, I will attempt to develop this specific study further at a later time.
