τέραμνον

Ancient Greek edit

Alternative forms edit

τέρεμνον (téremnon)

Etymology edit

Connected with Proto-Indo-European *treb- (“dwelling, settlement”), a root found in Latin trabs (“beam”), Proto-Germanic *þurpą (“village”), Lithuanian trōbà (“farmhouse”). However, according to Beekes these words cannot be related and prefers to compare θεράπων (therápōn, “servant, maid”); according to him, because of the alternations θ/τ and μν/πν the word is Pre-Greek.
