Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /kʰtʰɔ̌ːn/, /xθon/, /xθon/, /kʰtʰɔ̌ːn/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /kʰtʰon/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /xθon/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /xθon/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /xθon/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Audio: Grc-χθών.ogg
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *kʰtʰṓn, full transference to n-stem (cf. εἷς (heîs), χῐών (khĭṓn)), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰéǵʰōm, with the Proto-Indo-European cluster *dʰǵʰ- metathesizing into Proto-Greek *kʰtʰ- from an earlier Proto-Hellenic *tʰkʰṓn, since Greek stop clusters must always end in a dental. Cognates include Sanskrit क्ष (kṣa) and Latin humus.
