1 ἀ- (2)
ἀ-Meaning: (none)Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: In Pre-Greek words a `prothetic vowel' occurs, e.g. ἄσταχυς \/ στάχυς. It is no doubt a phonetic process.

The vowel was ἀ-, with a very few exceptions (Beekes, Pre-Greek.).Page in Frisk: --Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἀ- (2)

2 ἀ- (3)
ἀ-Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The origin of the phenomenon is unknown; it is due to a non-IE language.

4 ἄβαρκνα
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: λιμός H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Fur. 122 connects μαργός `mad, gluttonous', which is not convincing.

20 ἀγαθός
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `good' (Il.).Other forms: ἀκαθόν· ἀγαθόν H.; χάσιος· χρηστός H. Dor. χάϊος `noble, good' (ᾱ)Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably], LW [loanword]X[probably] [413]Etymology: Uncertain. On the one hand, one compares Germ. forms, Goth. goÞs, NHG gut, MLG gaden `fit' etc., further OCS godьnъ `pleasant', goditi `be pleasant', Russ. gódnyj `useful'. (Not with Skt. gadh- `to take, seize', gádhyā- `booty' which would have given *( ἀ)καθος). Crim. Goth. gadeltha `pulchrum'. The words must have a\/ā (long ō is morphologically excluded; Slavic cannot have h₂). Considered as a European substratum word by Beekes KZ 109 (1996). - Recently the word is analysed as *mǵh₂-dh₁-os `made great' (Panagl FS Strunk (1995)), which is semantically not convincing; or `whose deeds are great' Ruijgh 1991, FS Bartoněk, which is also semantically unconvincing. - If the variants are reliable, it could be Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 1,5-6Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἀγαθός
