According to Beekes, probably from Proto-Indo-European *ten- (“stretch”), the same root underlying τείνω (teínō, “to stretch”), though the phonological and morphological details are rather unclear. The missing link may be a noun like *ταῖνα (*taîna) or *ταινά (*tainá). The formation of the word is comparable to that of κειρία (keiría, “band, tapeworm”).

Unknown. According to Beekes, the comparison with Proto-Germanic *dalą (“valley”) and Proto-Slavic *dȏlъ (“valley”) should be discarded. The connection with θάλαμος (thálamos, “bedroom”) makes more sense and would lead to a Pre-Greek origin. A few scholars, such as Guus Kroonen, still maintain the Indo-European etymology and reconstruct Proto-Indo-European *dʰól(h₂)os.

The similarity with the Latin term suggests a Mediterranean, Anatolian, and/or Pre-Greek borrowing for both.

→ English: ampyx

Formerly considered to be a root noun prefixed with ἀμ-, belonging to πύκα (púka, “solidly”) and πυκνός (puknós, “compact”), and cognate with Avestan 𐬞𐬎𐬯𐬁 (pusā, “headband, diadem”). However, the notion "thick, solid" does not seem to fit the objects in question. A word for such objects is easily borrowed and, according to Beekes, it contains a typical Pre-Greek suffix.
