ἄγνυμι
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Hellenic *wágnūmi, as evidenced by Homeric metre; possibly from Proto-Indo-European *uh₂ǵ-néw-ti, from the root *weh₂ǵ- (“to break apart, split, burst”) (traditionally *wag-). Cognate with Tocharian A wāk-, Tocharian B wāk- and possibly Hittite 𒉿𒀀𒆠 (wa-a-ki /wāki/, “bites”), Sanskrit वज्र (vájra-, “thunderbolt”) (*“that which splits”) and Latin vāgina (“sheath; vagina”) (if originally *“fissure, slit”).[1][2][3]
