ἴγδις
Ancient Greek
editAlternative forms
edit- ἴγδη (ígdē)
Etymology
editIt can hardly belong to ἴκταρ (íktar), ἴξ (íx), nor to αἰχμή (aikhmḗ). According to Beekes, probably of Pre-Greek origin, due to the presence of the cluster "-γδ".[1] Probably ultimately from Hurrian 𒀉𒆠 (/idki, itki/, “mortar”), from the root 𒀉 (/id-/, “to beat”), whence with metathesis Ugaritic 𒅅𒌈 (IG-TU4 /ʾiktu?/, “mortar”). On these see Huehnergard, without the Greek.[2]
