νεβρός
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Some have tried a connection with Old Armenian ներկ (nerk, “color”), deriving both from a Proto-Indo-European root *(s)negʷro-, because often the deer and the hind are called after their variegated color (compare πρόξ (próx, “roe deer”) and περκνός (perknós, “dusky”)). Others derive it from Proto-Indo-European *negʷ- (“naked”).
