θόλος
See also: θολός
Ancient Greek
Etymology
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.[1] A few scholars, such as Guus Kroonen,[2] still maintain the Indo-European etymology and reconstruct Proto-Indo-European *dʰól(h₂)os.
