Furnée compares this word, together with σκύτα (skúta, “neck, throat”), to κοττίς (kottís, “occiput”) and προκόττα (prokótta, “forelock”) and assumes a Pre-Greek origin.

Hesychius' gives the definition as: κεφαλή (kephalḗ, “head”).

Ending like ἀπήνη (apḗnē), λαμπήνη (lampḗnē) and ἀνθρήνη (anthrḗnē). Traditionally explained as a compound of Proto-Indo-European *upó (“under, below”) and a root common to Sanskrit आन (āna, “face, mouth, nose”). Yet this etymology is semantically unsatisfactory and formally difficult. Alternatively, the word has often been considered to be Pre-Greek, in view of the typical substrate suffix -ήνη.

It may continue *λουκ-ιον (*louk-ion) as a derivative of a root noun, as is seen in Latin lūx (“light”), if from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (“white; light; bright”). Compare also Latin lūcus (“grove, wood”), from the same source. The etymology remains highly improbable, though.

The formation is reminiscent of ὕδερος (húderos) and χολέρα (kholéra), but further details are unknown. The connection with ἴκτις (íktis, “marten”) and ἴκτινος (íktinos, “kite”) is defended by Grošelj Živa, who assumes a colour root ἰκ- (ik-, “yellow, green”), and compares ἰκμαλέον (ikmaléon, “green, moist”). This remains speculative. According to Furnée, the group -κτ- points to Pre-Greek origin.

May belong to a word for "hair", which appears in Middle Irish find (“hair”), Dutch wenkbrauw (“eyebrow”), Old Prussian wanso (“first beard”), and Proto-Slavic *ǫsъ (“moustache”). The Greek word would have to represent a reduplicated formation *ϝί-ϝονθος (*wí-wonthos). All these words have been interpreted as verbal nouns from Proto-Indo-European *wendʰ- (“hair, wool, beard”), with the specific Greek formation as *wi-wondʰ-o-s.
For a similar semantic shift, compare Georgian თმა (tma, “hair”) ~ Svan შდო̈მ (šdöm, “rash”).

The comparison with Latin pēlvis (“bowl, dish”) or Sanskrit पालवी (pālavī, “a kind of vessel”), पारी (pārī, “milk pail”) is unconvincing, and does not lead to an Indo-European reconstruction. Furnée suggests a Pre-Greek origin, which is tentatively supported by Beekes. On the other hand, Kroonen derives the Greek from a Proto-Indo-European *pel(w)- (“vessel”), and connects Proto-Germanic *fullą (“cup, beaker”).


πέλλα

head

πέλλα • (pélla)

Assuming a Pre-Greek form *πελσᾱ (*pelsā), it has been connected with Proto-Germanic *falisaz (“rock, cliff”), Old Irish ail (“crag”) and Sanskrit पाषाण (pāṣāṇa, “rock, stone”). However, the variation *pelso-/*peliso- does not seem Indo-European. The noun could be identical to the Macedonian town Πέλλα (Pélla). Furnée further compares φελλεύς (phelleús, “stony ground”), which points to a Pre-Greek origin.

Hesychius gives the definition as: λίθος (líthos, “stone”).

The etymological base of the word is not clear. Formally, there is no reason to disconnect the word from πλάσσω (plássō, “to knead, mold”), but this linkage is not evident on the semantic side. The same holds true for the connection with πλατύς (platús, “flat”). In view of the suffix -ιγγ-, it therefore seems better to assume a Pre-Greek origin.

Unknown. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *dṓm (“house, home”), like δόμος (dómos, “dwelling”), and the root ἀρ- in ἀραρίσκω (ararískō, “to join, fit together”). Perhaps more likely from an -r/n-stem like Proto-Indo-European *dómh₂-r̥ (from Proto-Indo-European *demh₂- (“tame”)), with the -τ- taken over from the n-stem forms.
However, the word could also be of Pre-Greek origin, in view of the suffix -αρ.

According to Lewy, from Aramaic כַּרְבָּלְתָּא (karbaltā, “headgear, a type of head covering; cock's comb, crest”), while Rabin points to it's ancestor Akkadian 𒌆𒋼𒀀𒁀𒀠𒆷𒋫 (TUG kar-ba-al-la-ta /karballatu/, “hat, cowl, pointed cap, linen helm”), generally taken as a foreign term associated with Cimmerians. Lagard thinks that the first syllable could be related to Sanskrit शिरस् (śiras, “head”). Furnée points to Pre-Greek origin, in view of the suffix, while Prellwitz connects the word with κόρυμβος (kórumbos, “peak, summit”) and Meister with κόρθυς (kórthus, “heap”), κόρθιλος (kórthilos, “wren”), κόρυς (kórus, “helmet”) and κορυφή (koruphḗ, “top of the head”).

Explanation debated. Because of the comparable formation in υἱωνός (huiōnós, “grandson”) from υἱός (huiós, “son”), it is probably best derived from a nominal basis. Therefore, it can be derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éwis (“bird”), like Latin avis (“bird”), Sanskrit वि (vi, “bird”), Avestan 𐬬𐬍𐬱 (vīš, “bird”) and also ἀετός (aetós, “eagle”). The initial ὀ- has been explained as a case of vowel assimilation since Schmidt, but this is unnecessary: one may assume an o-grade, as does Beekes, who departs from a nominative *h₂ow-i-ō(n) that was subsequently thematicized. By others, it has been combined with οἶμα (oîma, “spring, rush, swoop”), οἶστρος (oîstros, “gadfly; zeal”), οἰστός (oistós, “endurable”) and connected with the root Proto-Indo-European *h₁eys- (“to propel”), but this is doubtful. The connection with ᾠόν (ōión, “egg”) by Schmeja was defended by Peters.

Traditionally connected to Proto-Indo-European *werǵʰ- (“bind, wind together”) and its descendants, like Lithuanian veržiù (“to fence in, string”), Old Norse virgill (“snare”) and Proto-Germanic *wurgijaną (“to strangle”). However, this is semantically untenable, because the meaning of this word would be "fence, enclosure". The connection with Ὀρχομενός (Orkhomenós) is commonly accepted. As there is no Indo-European etymology, it seems more probable that the word is Pre-Greek.

Traditionally considered an old s-enlargement of ἐρυθρός (eruthrós, “red”), which can be found in Latin russus (“red, reddish-brown”) and Lithuanian raūsvas (“red”). However, Furnée suggests a Pre-Greek origin, because of the alternation of σ/θ and the typical long -ῑ-: this hypothesis is supported also by Beekes.
