γείτων
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editBeekes does not propose an etymology, and leaves its origin open, though notes that the seemingly-old ablaut in the suffix -των (-tōn) suggests ultimate Indo-European origin. In either case, not related to γεῖσον (geîson, “projecting part of a roof, cornice”).[1]
