[[Δινών]] month name (when the corn is threshed).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: Perhaps an old nasal present <b class="b3">*δι-ν-έϜ-ω</b> (cf. <b class="b3">*κι-ν-έϜ-ω</b>, <b class="b3">κί-νυ-μαι</b>) of which the nasal was generalized (cf. [[κλίνη]] : [[κλίνω]]). Aeol. <b class="b3">δίνν-</b> as in [[ξέννος]] (Schwyzer 228). Initial <b class="b3">δι-</b> has been compared with [[δίεμαι]] (s. v.), which Chantr. finds evident "ni pour la forme, ni pour le sens." - The Myc. forms would show an initial labiovelar, from which one would expect rather a labial. Could the form be Pre-Greek? (note that the word has in fact no etymology). Heubeck separates the Myc. forms (Cambridge Coll. Myc. Stud. 229-237).
