Etymology: ἔνδον is identical with Hitt. andan `in it'; also anda `id.' = Lat. endo. Often explained as `in the house', from ἐν and an endingless locative of the root noun for `house' in δά-πεδον, δεσ-πότης, δόμ-ος (s. vv.); one adduces the expression Διὸς ἔνδον ἀγηγέρατο Υ 13, but the gen. can as well be elliptic; s. Vendryes MSL 15, 358ff. - Schwyzer 625f., Schwyzer-Debrunner 546f., Lejeune Les adv. en - θεν (s. index), Brugmann Grundr.² 2: 2, 723 w. n. 1. DELG rejects this view: it fits neither form nor meaning. Cf. Meid AAHG 1974, 54
