Origin: IE [Indo-European] [564] *ḱen- `empty'

Etymology: With κενός, Ion. κεινός, both \< *κενϜός, cf. e. g. στενϜός; with κενεϜός agrees ἐτεϜός; from an υ-stem *κενύς. - Because of the differing expressions for `empty' note the agreement between κενός and Arm. sin, gen. sn-oy (o-st.) `id.' (IE. *ḱen-, stem uncertain) cf. Schwyzer 57, Porzig Gliederung 157).
