Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]According to Beekes, from σάλος (sálos, “earthquake; movement of the sea”) with a velar suffix. Kölligan (2017) compares Hesychian σαίνεται· κινεῖται (saínetai; kineîtai, “shake”) and the root of Ancient Greek κινεῖται (kineîtai), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱey(h₂)- (compare Latin cieō; IEW 538, LIV², de Vaan), thus reconstructing *ḱi-n̥-h₂-, *ḱih₂-(e)lo-.
