ἀλάομαι

Ancient Greek

Etymology

By surface analysis, ἄλη (álē) +‎ -άομαι (-áomai). Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₂élh₂-, a root present that may also be the source of Latin ambulō. Regardless, the term ultimately derives from the root *h₂elh₂-.[1]

Pronunciation

 

Verb

ἀλάομαι • (aláomai)
