Πελασγός
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
Likely of Pre-Greek origin. Compare Akkadian 𒆳𒉿𒇺𒋫 (KURpi-lis-ta, “Pilistu”), 𒆳𒉺𒆷𒊍𒌓 (KURpa-la-as-tu₂ /Palastu/), 𒆳𒉿𒇺𒋫𒀀𒀀 (KURpi-liš-ta-a-a /Pilištayu/, “(people) of the Pilištu lands”), and Hebrew פְּלִשְׁתִּים (Pəlíštim). Also consider Egyptian pwrꜣsꜣtj, an ethnicity listed by Pharaoh Merneptah as part of the Sea People coup against Egypt circa 1190 BCE.
