παλλακή
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- παλλακίς (pallakís)
Etymology
The word may well be 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., in view of the suffix "-ακ-". Similarly, Levin regards Latin paelex (“mistress”) as a loanword from a Mediterranean language, maybe a Semitic one, in view of Hebrew פִּילֶגֶשׁ (pilegesh, “concubine”). The remaining connections that have been proposed, particularly those with Middle Irish airech (“concubine”), Avestan 𐬞𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌𐬐𐬁 (pairikā, “beautiful women seducing pious men”), Middle Persian [Term?] (/parīg/), Khotanese 𑀧𑀮𑀻𑀓𑀸 (palīkā) and Old Armenian պարիկ (parik)) should all be dismissed for formal or semantic reasons.
