θάμνος
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]This word exists next to θαμινός (thaminós, “crowded, close-set”) and θαμά (thamá, “often”) just as πυκνός (puknós, “thick, dense”) next to πυκινός (pukinós, “thick”) and πύκα (púka, “thickly, strongly”); the barytonesis is caused by the substantivization. Not, as per Alessio, related to Latin tamnus (“kind of grape”). With its ending in -αμνος, the word seems Pre-Greek; its meaning makes this quite possible.
