Ancient Greek

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₂k- (to hit), compare Latin lancea (lance) and Old Armenian գեղարդն (gełardn, spear), or a Semitic borrowing corresponding to Hebrew רֹמַח (rómaḥ, spear), Arabic رُمْح (rumḥ, spear) etc. (see the Arabic), but Beekes leaves the etymology unexplained.
