δάμαρ
Ancient Greek edit
Alternative forms edit
- δόμορτις (dómortis)
Etymology edit
Unknown. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *dṓm (“house, home”), like δόμος (dómos, “dwelling”), and the root ἀρ- in ἀραρίσκω (ararískō, “to join, fit together”). Perhaps more likely from an -r/n-stem like Proto-Indo-European *dómh₂-r̥ (from Proto-Indo-European *demh₂- (“tame”)), with the -τ- taken over from the n-stem forms.[1]
However, the word could also be of Pre-Greek origin, in view of the suffix -αρ.
