ἰοχέαιρα
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editTraditionally analysed as ῑ̓ός (īós, “arrow”) + χέω (khéō, “to pour”), but may be from Proto-Indo-European *ísuǵʰesṛ (“arrow-handed”), from *(H)ísus (“arrow”) + *ǵʰésōr (“hand”), equivalent to ῑ̓ός (īós, “arrow”) + χείρ (kheír, “hand”); compare Sanskrit इषुहस्त (iṣuhasta, “arrow-handed”).[1]
