βυθός

Ancient Greek

Possibly a metathesis from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewb-, with cognates including Old Church Slavonic дъно (dŭno), Old English dēop (English deep) and Albanian det (from Proto-Albanian *deubeta). Unrelated to βᾰθῠ́ς (bathús) and βένθος (bénthos).

However, Beekes soundly rejects Indo-European origin, and assigns it to Pre-Greek instead.[1]
