ὤκιμον
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Natively connected with ἀκή (akḗ) and ἄκαινα (ákaina) from a root related to sharpness, but this does not explain the initial ὤ-. According to Beekes, the presence of similar words ἄκινος (ákinos, “wild basil”) and ὤκινον (ṓkinon, “clover”) shows Pre-Greek origin. Löw and Nöldeke explain with a borrowing from Aramaic, retained in Classical Syriac ܚܘܟܐ (ḥawkā, “basil”).
