[edit] Etymology

What is the etymology/root word of Lycia? Badagnani 23:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Lycia is the Greek toponym for people who in their inscriptions called themselves Trmmli, according to H.C. Melchert, Lycian Lexicon vol 2 of Lexica Anatolia 1993. From "The modern place-name of 'Dirmil', the excavators suggest that the Dirmil highlands, located at the upper end of the Xanthos river valley, were the ancestral homeland of the Lycians." I get this from Pedar W. Foss, Stanford University: Lycia; I would add it to "External links" but that a class of Wikipedians is currently passing through articles deleting such links, apparently without asessing their value first, so that one is loath to waste one's efforts in this particular way. --Wetman (talk) 02:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
