ἐτήτυμος
A poetic Ancient Greek adjective meaning true, described by LSJ as a reduplicated formation beside ἔτυμος.
“A longer ancient form is not automatically a deeper ancestor. LSJ treats ἐτήτυμος as poetic reduplication beside ἔτυμος, while the proposed *set-u- prehistory remains a separate reconstruction.”OPEN COMPLETE WORD DOSSIER ↗
