ἄνεμος

See also: άνεμος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

    From Proto-Hellenic *ánemos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁mos, a nominal derivative of Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁- (“breathe”). Cognates include Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀚𐀗 (a-ne-mo /⁠ánemoi⁠/, “winds”, pl.), disputedly Old Armenian հողմ (hołm, “wind”), Latin animus, Old Frisian omma, and possibly Sanskrit अनिल (ánila); Compare also Tocharian B āñme (“self; soul”) and Old Armenian անձն (anjn, “person”).
