Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: From an u-stem ( δίκτυ only EM 275, 27; from the plural δίκτυα, Schwyzer 460f.) of δικεῖν `throw' (s. v.). The Myc. form has -e- as variant of -i-, which points to a Pre-Greek word (see Bader, Type Demiourgos $ 23; Chadwick, Myc. Studies Wingspread, 19-21; cf. on δίσκος); on Pre-Greek u-stems Heubeck, Praegraeca 36; to avoid this conclusion Chantraine, REG 80 (1967)1-5 assumes deiktu- for Mycenaean. So the Myc. form nicely confirms Furnée's conclusion that δικ- is Pre-Greek (s. δίσκος).
