θύννος
Ancient Greek
Etymology
According to Beekes, from a Mediterranean Lua error in Module:parameters at line 95: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. substrate word, possibly related to Hebrew תנין (“water animal, sea monster”), and that relations to θύνω (thúnō, “I rush, dart along”) could just be folk etymology.
