κάνδαρος

κάνδαρος
κάνδαρος
Grammatical information: m.?
Meaning: ἄνθραξ H.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Generally connected with Skt. candrá- `glowing, light', Lat. candor `white glow', candeō `glow'; s. Bq, Pok. 562, W.-Hofmann s. candeō with much litterature and forms; cf. Mayrhofer KEWA s. candráḥ (1. 373) and Schwyzer 482. I think that this etymology is wrong: how would we get κανδ- e.g. Fur 391 connects κάνδαρος and ἄνθραξ (with κ\/zero); this is not a strong argument, but Pre-Greek origin seems certain to me.
