Philistine

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Uncertain. R. D. Barnett speculated the Philistine term might be Indo-European and related to Hittite [script needed] (šarawanaš) / [script needed] (tarawanaš)[1] or Ancient Greek τῠ́ραννος (túrannos), itself probably a loan from Asia Minor (see entry).[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Compare Hebrew סֶרֶן (séren), Classical Syriac ܛܘܪܢܐ (ṭurrān[ā], tyrannical act).
