τίγρις
Appearance
See also: Τίγρις
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From an Indo-Iranian language.[1] Some suppose a relation to Avestan 𐬝𐬌𐬔𐬭𐬌 (t̰igri, “arrow”), Old Persian 𐎫𐎥𐎼 (t-g-r, “pointed, sharp”); based on these comparanda, the word would ultimately derive from Proto-Indo-European *(s)teyg- (“to point, stick”), according to Watkins.[2] Beekes notes, however, that the word referring to the animal could very well be from some foreign substrate borrowed into Iranian, and converged in form to the Iranian words for "sharp, arrow" via folk-etymological adaptation.[1]
