σαγήνη
Ancient Greek edit
Alternative forms edit
- ἁγάνα (hagána)
Etymology edit
Has been connected with Ancient Greek σάττω (sáttō, “to stuff, to press”) but this is semantically insufficient. Because of the Cypriot byform and the connection with σάγουρον (ságouron, “net”), Beekes argues for a Pre-Greek origin. Salonen and Szemerényi derive from Akkadian 𒅆𒆥𒉡 (ši-kin-nu /šikinnu/, “a vessel for oils, ointments, and wine; a large fishing net”).
