ἀντίον

See also: Ἄντιον

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From ἀντίος (antíos): the adverb/preposition is from the adverbial accusative, and the noun is from the neuter singular.

Formally identical to Hittite 𒄩𒀭𒍝𒀭 (ḫa-an-za-an /⁠ḫanzan⁠/) as if from Proto-Indo-European *h₂entíom, though the parallel formations in Greek and Hittite may be independent.[1]
