φαλός
See also: φάλος
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Hellenic *pʰalós, traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel-, with cognates including Sanskrit भाल (bhāla, “splendour”), Old Armenian բալ (bal, “fog”) and Old English bǣl (English bale).
It was further supposed that βαλιός (baliós, “spotted, dappled”) was related as a word from the Balkans. However, according to Beekes, the word is of Pre-Greek origin, in view of all the variations seen in the derived terms.
