τρίαινα
Ancient Greek
Etymology
From τρεῖς (treîs, “three”) + -αινᾰ (-aina). Chantraine considers a folk-etymological transformation after the numeral. Furnée compares τρίναξ (trínax, “instrument used in agricolture”) and θρῖναξ (thrînax, “three-pronged fork”), and asks whether the word could be a transformation of a Lua error in Module:parameters at line 331: 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. loan for an agricultural tool.
