Often considered as compoound of <b class="b3">νεκ-</b> in <b class="b3">νέκ-ες</b> (cf. <b class="b3">νέκ-υς</b>, <b class="b3">νεκ-ρός</b>) and a verb [[get over]], [[overcome]], which is found a.o. in Skt. <b class="b2">tárati</b> and as zero grade final member in <b class="b2">ap-túr</b> [[passing the waters]], <b class="b2">viśva-túr</b> [[overcoming everything]] etc. (cf. [[τέρμα]]). Thus (after Grimm a.o.) esp. Thieme Studien 5ff. with extensive argumentation and criticism of other views: [[νέκταρ]] prop. as expression of the IE poetic language "das über die [Todes -]Vernichtung Hinwegrettende".

If this is correct, the word is clearly Pre-Greek; he also points to the Pre-Greek words in <b class="b3">-αρ</b> (134 n. 75). He holds that the existing interpretations are too Indo-Iranian in character, not so much Greek. | ||
