LW [loanword] [[napus]] [[turnip]] (Plin.) and <b class="b2">sinapi(s)</b> [[mustard]]; from the last Goth. <b class="b2">sina(s)</b> , OHG [[senf]] etc. -- The form clearly goes back to a Pre-Greek <b class="b2">*synapi</b> with palatalized [[s]]; this may develop before consonant into <b class="b3">σι</b> (cf. <b class="b3">κνώψ</b> : <b class="b3">κινώπετον</b>, <b class="b3">λασιτός</b> : <b class="b3">λάσται</b>) cf.

If an [[i]] was not introduced, <b class="b2">*sn-</b> would have normally developed to <b class="b3">ν-</b> in Greek (cf. <b class="b3">νεῦρον</b>), but the <b class="b3">σ-</b> might have been retained, giving <b class="b3">*σναπυ</b>.<br />See also: s. <b class="b3">νᾶπυ</b>.
