Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

Etymology

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *bʰendʰ- (to tie), the same root of Sanskrit बन्धति (bandhati) and Proto-Germanic *bindaną. The same suffix is recognized in Gaulish benna and Welsh benn (cart). However, Beekes finds this theory improbable and suggests a Lua error in Module:parameters at line 239: 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. origin.
