tym

Albanian

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈtym/

Etymology 1

Disputed.

  1. From Proto-Indo-European *dʰuh₂mós,[1][2] whence also Latin fūmus (smoke), Ancient Greek θῡμός (thūmós, breath, spirit), though the voiceless /t/ is unexpected. It may have been influenced by the Greek descendant.
  2. From Proto-Indo-European *h₁éh₁t-mō (breath, soul),[3] whence also Sanskrit आत्मन् (ātmán), Proto-Germanic *ēþmaz, though the vowels are unexpected.
  3. Borrowed from Ancient Greek θῡμός (thūmós).[4] This has been challenged on semantic grounds.[3]
