ταπεινός
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Has been connected with Old Norse þefja (“to stamp”) and þōf (“crowd”) but this theory is not convincing. Probably 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..
