Widely accepted was the hypothesis of Kretschmer (first Glotta 1, 16 f.) which explained Πελασγοί from *Πελαγσ-κοί as "inhabitant of flat land", from πέλαγος in orig. sense of `plain'. This semantically uncertain, formally contestable interpretation was also several times doubted; s. F. Lochner-Hüttenbach Die Pelasger (Arb. Inst. Sprachw. 6. Wien 1960) 143ff. with referee of also other proposals and extensive treatment of the whole problem (on Πελαργικόν ibd. 116 w. n. 74); cf. the dicussion by Kronassers, Sprache 7, 218ff.Page in Frisk: 2,495-496Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > Πελασγοί
