καμάρα
Ancient Greek
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]An Old Iranian borrowing, from Proto-Iranian *kamarā- (“something curved”), from *kamárati, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kmárati, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kh₂em- (“to bend, curve”).
Compare Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬨𐬀𐬭𐬁 (kamarā, “girdle”),[1] Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (kml /kamar/, “waist; belt, girdle”), Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫞𐫖𐫡 (qmr /kamar/, “vault”), Persian کمر (kamar, “waist; belt, girdle; arch, cupola, dome, arched bridge”) and the Old Armenian loanword կամար (kamar, “girdle; arch, vault”).[2][3][4][5] The Hesychian gloss καμαρίς (kamarís, “woman's ornament”) is also from Iranian.
