κάνδαρος
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Generally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kand- (“to shine, glow”), like Latin candeō (“I glow”), Albanian hënë (“moon”), Sanskrit चन्द्र (candrá, “shining”) and Old Armenian խանդ (xand). However Beekes suggests a Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: 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. origin.
