Ancient Greek

Etymology

[edit]

Unknown.

DELG considers a connection with λάρκος (lárkos, charcoal basket) and perhaps νάρναξ (nárnax, box, chest, coffer). He rejects a connection with νάρκη (nárkē, numbness).

Obrador-Cursach compares as a possible cognate Phrygian νώρικον (nṓrikon, skin, skinbag). He hesitatingly proposes a shared source for the Greek and Phrygian word, further comparing Akkadian 𒈾𒊒𒄣 (narūqu, sack, bag).[1]
