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

Etymology: From θάβακον θᾶκον η θρόνον H. it appears, that *θᾶκο was contracted from *θά(Ϝ)ακος; θῶκος will come from θώ(Ϝ)ακος, shortened *θό(Ϝ)ακος, which will have given with metr. lengthening θόωκος. One further assumes the zero grade, resp. ō-grade of τί-θη-μι (as in θωμ-ός). This is impossible for *θαϜακ-ος. One explains further, with Schulze Q. 435, *θάϜακος as assimilated from *θόϜακος. This is most improbable. - Lit. dėveti `carry' (of clothes) etc.' (Bezzenberger BB 27, 179) is not connected. - Details on θᾶκος, θῶκος in Björck Alpha impurum 349ff. - The word must be Pre-Greek, as seen by Fur. 342; a suffix - ακ- is frequent in Pre-Greek (Beekes, Pre-Greek, Suffixes); variation *θαϜ\/ θοϜ is normal (there is no need to assume a form *θωϜ); the form θοωκος requires *θοϜ-ᾱκ-ος).
