τίτανος
Ancient Greek
editAlternative forms
edit- τέτανος (tétanos)
Etymology
editLike most expressions for "chalk", the word must be a loan. A different hypothesis is offered by Reichelt, who connects Sanskrit श्वित्न (śvitna, “whitish”) and κίττανος (kíttanos, “dusty chalk”), as well as the toponyms Τιτάνη (Titánē) and Πιτάνη (Pitánē). However, given the variation ε/ι, the word is probably Pre-Greek.
