κρόταφος
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
Etymology
Usually derived from κρότος (krótos, “beating”) as "beating of the veins in the temples". Furnée connects it with κόρση (kórsē, “temple”). Maybe from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: 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..
