Abstract

The generally accepted explanation of the -πλος in these words, that it comes from the root pel- ‘to fold’, fails to account for the presence of the double ο in -πλóος. May not this -πλóος be identical with πλος [πλóος] [voyage]? In other languages a word for [voyage] or [journey] has faded into a word for [time] —e.g. Serb. jedan put [once] ; Lett,vien-reiz [once].
