ζεμελως
Phrygian
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Indo-European *dʰǵʰemelo-, whence also Ancient Greek χθαμαλός (khthamalós, “near the ground”) and Latin humilis (“low”). The same Proto-Indo-European root gave both the nouns for "man" and "earth" (Proto-Indo-European *dʰéǵʰōm); compare Latin homō (“human being, man”) and humus (“ground, soil”), and similar semantic shift occurring in Semitic languages: Hebrew אָדָם (adám, “man”), אדמה (adamá, “soil”).
