ῥέγκω
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- ῥέγχω (rhénkhō)
Etymology
Of ultimately onomatopoeic origin, perhaps via a Proto-Indo-European *sre(n)gʰ- (“to snore”), whence also perhaps Old Irish srennaid (“to snore”), Proto-West Germanic *snarkōn (“to snore, snort”), though Beekes also suggests a possible Pre-Greek origin. See also ῥύγχος (rhúnkhos, “snout, beak”).[1]
