Abstract

THE SEEMINGLY INNOCENT ROOT iysoon leads the interested student into a treacherous path of inquiry crossing the boundaries between linguistics, myth, cult, and pre-Greek history. Several primal meanings for the root, from at least two different languages, had long co-existed with each other by historical times, so that the resulting semantic picture may never be completely clarified. Nonetheless, a survey of the evidence may lead to a partial clarification.
