φάτνη
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- πάθνη (páthnē)
Etymology
Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *bʰendʰ- (“to tie”), the same root of Sanskrit बन्धति (bandhati) and Proto-Germanic *bindaną. The same suffix is recognized in Gaulish benna and Welsh benn (“cart”). However, Beekes finds this theory improbable and suggests a Pre-Greek origin.
