πόσθη
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Has been connected with Ancient Greek πέος (péos, “penis”), from Proto-Indo-European *pes-o- (“penis”), but the derivation is problematic. Beekes thinks it is likely a loan from a non-Indo-European-Language, like Lua error in Module:parameters at line 333: 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..
