[edit]Etymology
[edit]Traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₂w- (whence θεάομαι (theáomai), θῆβος (thêbos), θήγεια (thḗgeia)), an extension of *dʰeh₂-, with no clear cognates outside Hellenic; other extensions include θάμβος (thámbos) (< *dʰh₂n̥bʰos), τάφος (táphos) (< *dʰh₂bʰos), θώψ (thṓps) (< *dʰoh₂ps), τέθηπα (téthēpa) (< *dʰedʰeh₂pm̥).
Beekes, on the other hand, speculates all these formations as Pre-Greek.[1] See also θεάομαι (theáomai, “to view, contemplate”).
