θέλγω
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unexplained. Several unconvincing hypotheses: that is related to Lithuanian žvelgiù (“to look at”) (connecting it as "enchanting by an evil look"); to Sanskrit ह्वरते (hvarate, “to turn, diverge”) with Greek enlargment -γ-; to Germanic words like Old English dolg (“wound, scar”) and Old High German tolg (“wound”), both from Proto-Germanic *dulgą.
