Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Uncertain the plant name ἑλένιον, s. Ἐλένη. To ἑλάνη cf. σκαπάνη, πλεκτάνη etc. (Chantr. Form. 199). (With ἑλένη cf ὠλένη, Aeol. φερενα; so prob. assimilation of ἑλάνη (s. Schwyzer 255f.). - For the meaning reed-bundle, twisted basket one connects ἑλάνη, -ένη with εἰλέω turn, wind (s. v.); the meaning torch would also allow this etymology (cf. δεταί λαμπάδες, δράγματα). But it is clearly wrong, as it is most probably a Pre-Greek word. (Not to εἵλη heat of the sun, (Solmsen Unt. 196).
