ὄμπνη
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- ὄμπη (ómpē)
Etymology
Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ep-, like Sanskrit अप्नस् (apnas, “property, possession”), Proto-Germanic *aflą (“power, strength”) and Hittite 𒄩𒀀𒀊𒈦 (ḫa-a-ap-pár). However, Furnée links this word with ὀμφύνειν (omphúnein, “to strengthen, respect, honor”), suggesting a by-form "ὀμφυν-" and thus a Pre-Greek origin.
