tym

See also: Tym and tým

Albanian

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈtym/

Etymology 1

Disputed.

1. From Proto-Indo-European *dʰuh₂mós, whence also Latin fūmus (“smoke”), Ancient Greek θῡμός (thūmós, “breath, spirit”), though the voiceless /t/ is unexpected. It may have been influenced by the Greek descendant.
2. From Proto-Indo-European *h₁éh₁t-mō (“breath, soul”), whence also Sanskrit आत्मन् (ātmán), Proto-Germanic *ēþmaz, though the vowels are unexpected.
3. Borrowed from Ancient Greek θῡμός (thūmós). This has been challenged on semantic grounds.
