πύργος

Etymology
The word is first attested in Homer, Iliad 7.219. Believed to be a borrowed word, perhaps from, however this may itself be a loan with no known cognate; compare also 🇨🇬. Others connect the word to, with cognates including 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬 (🇨🇬). Kretschmer suggested a borrowing from 🇨🇬 mediated through some Northern Balkans language (?). For Beekes, the abundance of Pre-Greek placenames, like e. g., seems to indicate a origin.
