[edit]Etymology
[edit]From the Hesychian gloss θάβακον (thábakon, “seat, throne”), it appears that this word was contracted from *θά(ϝ)ακος (*thá(w)akos). Connection with Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁- (“to put, place”) as zero grade is impossible because of *θά(ϝ)ακος (*thá(w)akos). The word must be Pre-Greek, as was observed by Furnée. A suffix -ακ is frequent in Pre-Greek; the variation *-αϝ-/-οϝ- is normal in substrate words.
