Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: gold (AP; Plu.).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: It would be the name of the son of Midas. Fur. 391 compares τάγχουρος γὰρ ὁ χρυσός, ἡ λέξις Περσική, Sch. Theoc. p. 351 W., and τάγχαρας gold (Cosmas ad OGI 199). If the word is Pre-Greek, I propose -arʷ- giving -αρ- (cf. ἀρασχάδες) or -ουρ- (see ἀγχοῦρος 2).
