ὠτειλή
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
The formation is unclear and the etymology controversial. Greek formations which are candidates to be cognate are γατάλαι (gatálai, “scars”), βωτάζειν (bōtázein, “to throw, cast”), οὐτάω (outáō, “to wound”) and, less probable, ἄτη (átē, “damage, guilt, blindness”). From other languages Lithuanian votìs (“ulcer”) and Latvian vâts (“festering wound”) are compared. The word could well be Pre-Greek; this seems confirmed by the form *ϝαταλ- in the first gloss.
