"βόθρος" meaning in All languages combined

See βόθρος on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /bó.tʰros/, /ˈβo.θros/, /ˈvo.θros/, /bó.tʰros/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈbo.tʰros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈβo.θros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈvo.θros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈvo.θros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: This word and the synonymous βόθυνος (bóthunos) have been connected with Lithuanian bedù (“sting, dig”), Latin fodiō (“to dig”) and Middle Welsh bedd (“canal”). In order to explain the discrepancy between Greek β- and Latin f-, dissimilation of Proto-Indo-European *bʰodʰ- to Proto-Hellenic *bodʰ- was assumed, or influence of βαθύς (bathús, “deep, profound”). Beekes prefers to derive the word from Pre-Greek; according to him, even the meaning suggests such origin.

Noun [Greek]

Etymology: Semantically similar to Proto-Indo-European *bʰedʰh₂- (“to pierce, to dig”), however, the expected outcome of this root in Greek would be **πόθρος (**póthros) (based on Grassmann's law). Pre-Greek origin or influence from Ancient Greek βαθύς (bathús, “vertically distant (high/deep)”) are possible alternatives.
