 * That would make sense, if "ops" just meant the eye in general, while "ophthalmos" meant the eyeball (a "chamber") itself. RedPanda25 (talk) 18:04, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The loss of /a/ and short vowel in the first syllable would be irregular, but we have words like ὄψις that have a short vowel in what is most likely ultimately the same root. Im confused and about ready to assume we'll never really know. — Soap — 23:07, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

How is it Pre-Greek if Gaulish for "eye" is "ops"?
Suggestions? --- Myrnamyers (talk) 13:56, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, Beekes could simply be wrong ... see the link above for a discussion of an alternate theory. That said, coincidences do happen, so perhaps we should list both theories. — Soap — 22:46, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
