νῆσος

Etymology
. Has traditionally been connected with from. If its meaning “island” has developed from a more original meaning “headland, cape”, it may be, like and, a derivation from ; in more landsman environments, compare the developments of 🇨🇬 from “nose” and 🇨🇬 apparently from “bridge”. But in that case, the origin of -s-, which is not usually preserved in Greek, remains to be explained, possibly requiring a borrowing from another  language (Beekes and Furnée: ).
