βρόχος

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

βρυγχός (brunkhós)

Etymology

If the gloss on βρυγχός (brunkhós) is reliable, then the prenasalization points to a Pre-Greek origin. The word has been compared with Proto-Slavic *mèrža (“net”) and Lithuanian márška (“net”). Another connection has been made with μόροττον (mórotton, “plaiting of bark”) but it is uncertain.
