    Duccio Guasti (Ghent University) - "Greek kēlōn "stallion": etymology and original meaning"

    11:00 amFaculteitszaal

    Abstract: In this paper, after rejecting all proposed etymologies, I reconstruct the Greek κήλων, a word that can refer both to stallion donkeys and to hypersexual men, as a formation in-ων from κήλη "hernia, swelling, tumor."
