Ἀρδιαῖοι

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From Illyrian. Related to, or derived from Proto-Albanian *harδ, alternatively Albanian *hardhë (“lizard”) from Proto-Albanian *skardā.[1] (Can this(+) etymology be sourced? Particularly: “source is a dictionary entry, not an etymology”) Compare the Celtic Scordisci, Ancient Greek κορδύλος (kordúlos, “newt”).
