πόρπη
Ὁ θάνατος οὐθὲν πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ἐπειδήπερ ὅταν μὲν ἡμεῖς ὦμεν, ὁ θάνατος οὐ πάρεστιν, ὅταν δὲ ὁ θάνατος παρῇ, τόθ' ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἐσμέν. → Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: The word has been interpreted as broken reduplication of πείρω (Bq., WP 2, 39, Schwyzer 423), or from *pork-u̯a to πόρκης (WP 2, 39, Hofm. 280). -- Furnée 163 connects πορφὶτῳ περόνῃ H. and concludes that the word is Pre-Greek.
