Etymology: ἄντρον cannot be connected with Arm. ayr grotto. The last attempt, from De Lamberterie, must be rejected. He starts from a form *anter, which is improbable (substr. words in -ηρ are also extremely rare), but the supposed development in Armenian is quite improbable; s. Clackson 1994, 98. - Connection with ἄνεμος (Schwyzer 532) is impossible. Lat. antrum is a loan. So we can best return to Chantr. Form. 331 and assume the word may be a substr.word.
