ent- (better ant-?) (*ḫ-ent)

    ent- (better ant-?) (*ḫ-ent)

    English meaning: to weave

    Deutsche Übersetzung: “anzetteln, weben” (??)

    Note: Root ent- (better ant-?) : “to weave” derived from a truncated Root u̯ebh-1 : “to weave, plait” through an Illyr.-Alb. intermediary Alb. venj “I weave “ (*u̯ebhni̯ō) : Alb. ent, int “ weave “ (*ent-i̯- or *n̥t-i̯).

    Material: O.Ind. átka-ḥ m. “ garment, mantle”, Av. aδka-, atka- m. “ Upper dress, mantle” (n̥t-ko-s); Alb. ent, int “ weave “ (*ent-i̯- or *n̥t-i̯) : O.Ind. ubhnǘ ti, umbháti, unábdhi “tie together”, ū́rṇü-vábhi- m. “ spider “, Gk. ὑφή “the weaving “, Alb. venj “I weave “ (*u̯ebhni̯ō);

    Note: Alb.- slavic use prothetic v- for the lost laryngeal ḫ-. Gk. Att. ἄττομαι (*n̥t-i̯o-) “ weave “, δίαζομαι ds. (compare Debrunner IF. 21, 216), ἄσμα, δίασμa “ setting the warp in the loom, i.e. beginning the web “; if, however (Petersson Heterokl. 262) ἄνταρ ds., ἀντήριος ds. belong to it, must have begun rather like root *ant-. However, exists with Gk. culture words the suspicious origin and O.Ir. étid “ dressed “, étiud “ clothing “ could be shaped secondary to étach ds. (*en-togo-); also the equation O.Ind. átka-ḥ : Gk. ἀσκός ‘skin, hose, tube “ is because of of this dubious meaning; Gk. ἤτριον, Dor. ἄ̄τριον “ the warp in a web “ are suspectly of pre-Greek origin.
