Greek ἄμπυξ ʻfrontletʼ and the meaning of PIE *h2 énts
Original language description
Based on archaeological and philological considerations, itseems plausible to identify in the first element of Gk ἄμπυξ 'frontlet'the PIE root-noun *h2énts This implies the PIE lexeme was continuedin Pre-Greek in the primary meaning 'forehead' This in turn providesanother argument against accepting that the same lexeme could havemeant 'side' in PIE and could have engendered terms such as PIE*h2mbhí 'around/on both sides' and *h2mbhóh1 'both' which cruciallydepend on such general semantics (as claimed by Jasanoff 1976)Typological, semantic, and philological arguments make it possible toconclude that PIE *h2énts had the very simple primary meaning'forehead', all the later derivation can be based on this meaning, andinvocation of a more general noun 'front' or 'surface' is unnecessaryand superfluous
