Ancient Greek[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
- ῥέγχω (rhénkhō)
Etymology[edit]
The etymon is clearly onomatopoeic. Although the variation is certainly due in part to the onomatopoeic character of the word, many of the alternations would also fit a Pre-Greek origin. Similar forms in Celtic, like Old Irish srennaid (“to snore”), may derive from Proto-Indo-European *sregʰ- (“to snore”).
