ἐσχάρα
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Beekes points out the absence of cognates in other Indo-European languages and considers the word to be of Pre-Greek origin.
According to Gamkrelidze / Ivanov, a Kartvelian borrowing. Compare Proto-Kartvelian *c₁x- (“burn, give off heat”), whence Georgian სიცხე (sicxe), ცეცხლი (cecxli) (< *ʒec₁xl-), Mingrelian ჩხე (čxe), Laz ჩხე (čxe) and Svan root შხ- (šx-, “burn, set fire”). The initial ἐ- (e-) of the Greek form is a prothetic vowel.
