Etymology

edit

According to Furnée, all the variations prove a Pre-Greek origin, after Witczak specifically borrowed from Western Anatolian. Also passed as far as Albanian shegë, to which the form κυσήγη (kusḗgē) once mentioned without contextualization is in any case ancestral. Linked to the reconstruction *sida "red", which has also been suggested as the root of σίδηρος (sídēros), "iron."
