φαρκίς

Ancient Greek

Etymology

The word has been compared with Latin fricō (“I rub, chafe”), Lithuanian brūkis (“stroke, line”) and braūkti (“to strike, rub”), but this is formally hardly possible. Possibly from Pre-Greek. The connection with φορκόν (phorkón, “grey; wrinkled”) is quite uncertain.
