Etymology

[edit]

Clearly related to σάτιλλα (sátilla, Big Dipper). There is a certain similarity between σάτιλλα (sátilla) and Armenian սայլ (sayl, cart, oxcart). This should perhaps be explained as borrowing through, for example, Phrygian. Schmitt rather argues for a Thracian origin of σάτιλλα (sátilla), whereas remote resemblance of Armenian սայլ (sayl, cart, oxcart) with Georgian ეტლი (eṭli, chariot) is pointed out by Adontz. According to Beekes both words are from Pre-Greek, because they defy derivation from Indo-European.
