τρίαινα
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From τρεῖς (treîs, “three”) + -αινᾰ (-aina). Chantraine considers a folk-etymological transformation after the numeral. Furnée compares τρίναξ (trínax, “instrument used in agriculture”) and θρῖναξ (thrînax, “three-pronged fork”), and asks whether the word could be a transformation of a Pre-Greek loan for an agricultural tool.
