ῥύγχος

See also: ρύγχος

Ancient Greek

Perhaps from a Proto-Indo-European *srungʰ- (“to snore; nose”) and related to Old Armenian ռունգն (ṙungn, “nose”). See also Proto-Celtic *srognā (“nose”), as well as the similarly-formed ῥέγκω (rhénkō, “to snore”), which may stem from the same root complex.^[1]
