Talk:ἄρκτος

Noun gender
The occurrences of feminine are much more common. The description is accurate but the declension table seems to show the noun followed by the masculine article, for some reason. --Eleftheria1993 (talk) 20:21, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Meaning of ἄρκτος (bear)
I suggest, without any evidence whatever, that this is cognate or related to the word airth* (the way) because bears were followed to find beehives. Wastrel Way (talk) Eric
