- Title
The Etymology of χάρτης 'Papyrus Roll'.
- Authors
Rendsburg, Gary A.
- Abstract
The article explores the etymology of papyrus roll, which is included in the category of common words and base vocabulary items in the Greek lexicon, which lacks a suitable Indo-European (IE) etymology, especially when compared to the lexica of other IE languages. Topics discussed include comparison of the Egyptian lexemes with the Greek, information on the Phoenician lexis, and investigation on what happens when words are borrowed from one language to another.
