|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: name of a tree, of which the wood was burned for its good fragrance, <b class="b2">life-tree</b> (ε 60, hell.). [[Callitris quadrivalvis]]. DELG also gives Juniperus foetidissimus (s.v. <b class="b3">θύω</b> 2).<br />Other forms: Also <b class="b3">θυία</b>, <b class="b3">θύα</b>?<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">θυῖον</b> [[resin]] (Thphr.)<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: One suggests a primary deriv. of 2. <b class="b3">θύω</b>; cf. Wackernagel Syntax 2, 17. S. 2. <b class="b3">θύω</b>. The relation of these forms is not clear to me; it seems not very probable that two distinct trees had nearly identical names.
