| Popis | This study analyzes the Greek word ????? “part of the large intestine” in terms of its documentation, word formation and internal and external etymology. It is promising to connect it with other anatomical terms designating various parts of viscera, namely Armenian k‘a?irt‘ & k‘a?ird “cavity of the body and its organs”, Celtic *kalon- “heart; middle, central” and Tocharian B kele “navel; center”. For the Greek, Armenian and Celtic forms there is a common semantic denominator consisting in the fact that the relevant organs resemble a “bag”. |
