"θάλασσα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See θάλασσα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /tʰá.las.sa/, /ˈθa.las.sa/, /ˈθa.la.sa/, /tʰá.las.sa/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈtʰa.las.sa/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈθa.las.sa/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈθa.las.sa/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈθa.la.sa/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Possibly related to ἅλς (háls, “salt”), cf. Latin sāl (“salt”), salum (“sea”), Salacia (“sea goddess”). However, the element "-σσ-", as well as the local geographic meaning, points to a Pre-Greek origin; compare the possible cognate Luwian 𒀀𒆷𒀸 𒊭𒄠 (alaššamm(i)). According to Beekes, a Pre-Greek substrate borrowing tentatively reconstructed as *talakʸa.
