μόλυβδος
Ancient Greek edit
Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
Cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀗𐀪𐀺𐀈 (mo-ri-wo-do), from an Anatolian word cognate with Lydian 𐤪𐤠𐤭𐤦𐤥𐤣𐤠 (mariwda, “dark”), from Proto-Indo-European *morgʷ-iyo-, from a root *mergʷ- (“dark”),[1][2] whence also English murky.[3] Probably not cognate with Latin plumbum (“lead”), despite superficial similarity.
