What common four-letter man's first name has the same property as each of the two- and three-letter combinations below?

   ga   sli   smo   wi   bo   la   fea

Standing on the shoulders of you giants, I figured out the solution. The words DJ is looking for aren't gather, slither, smother, bother, lather, and feather; they are gathered, slithered, smothered, bothered, lathered, and feathered. Each of the combinations prefix "thered." The answer, therefore, is Eric, as in Eric the Red.
