ἴτον

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

ϝίτον (wíton), οἰτόν (oitón), οὐιτόν (ouitón)

Etymology

Furnée connects the word with ὕδνον (húdnon, “truffle”), which has variants too. Furnée is mistaken to assume a prothetic "ὀ-", since "ὀ-" and "οὐ-" just indicate "ϝ-". So we have *wit- and *wid-n-, with a suffix beginning with "n-" and voicing before the nasal, which is typical of Pre-Greek according to Beekes.
