σιγαλόεις

Ancient Greek edit

Etymology edit

Borrowed from a theoretical Luwian 𒊺𒄭𒇷 (še-ḫe-li /⁠šeḫeli-⁠/, “clean”) or Hittite 𒊺𒄭𒇷 (še-ḫe-li /⁠šeḫeli-⁠/, “clean”) forms not yet attested in the available corpus resources, itself from the attested Hurrian 𒅆𒄩𒀀𒆷 (ši-ḫa-a-la /⁠šeḫala-, šiḫala-, šiḫāla⁠/, “clean”), from Sumerian 𒂖 (sikil, “pure”), borrowed also into Akkadian 𒋗𒈛𒄩 (šu.luḫ.ḫa /⁠šuluḫḫu⁠/, “purification rite”). Possibly also distantly related to Ugaritic 𐎒𐎃𐎍 (sḫl, “gemstone grinder, polisher, engraver”), and possibly Arabic سَحَلَ (saḥala, “to trim smooth, to scrap or rub off, to file or pare”), although this has cognate with Akkadian 𒊓𒄩𒈝 (sa-ḫa-lum /⁠saḫālu⁠/, “to pierce or stab; hence to engrave or chisel into”), possibly an early instance of phono-semantic matching with the proto-Semitic sense, to cut smooth and the Sumerian being clean; to make a stone shining.
