βλωθρός

• γλωθρός (glōthrós)

Conventionally connected with Sanskrit मूर्धन् (mūrdhan, “head, top”) and Old English molda (“upper part of the head, crown”) as *μλωθρός (*mlōthrós), although this does not explain the variation, which points to Proto-Hellenic *gʷ-. Likewise with Frisk’s suggested connections μέλαθρον (mélathron, “ridgepole”) or βλαστάνω (blastánō, “to sprout, grow”). According to Beekes, the variant suggests a Pre-Greek origin.
