ApollonApollon-Greek-Deity

Like many other Greek Deities, Apollo has no Greek etymology, no Indo European etymology, either.

Similar deities/words I have seen in Anatolian/Mesopotamian/Etruscan langs and of course in Turkish, too. A try, a proposal by me for all ‚AB’ words that I know! Far-fetched? Bit forced? I had to write them down, sorry

According to Vambery av, ab, au, u

means hunt/to hunt; sling, net and trap.

Turkish Rune

𐰉

looks like a sling and hast the sound value 'AB'

One of the Greekest Deities Apollo has no Greek/Indo European etymology, so I can try to explain it with the help of Turkish.

Apollo is the twin brother of Artemis, the Goddess of Hunt. Apollo himself is the God of the Archers.

*

According to English wiki 'a Luwian Etymology suggested for Apaliunas makes Apollo 'the one with entrapment', perhaps in the sense of hunter.

Akkadian Abru/Apru is a priest, maybe the priest of the Hunter God?

There is an Etruscan Deity called Aplu, too.

And now?

Possible that Apollo has a Turkish etymology?
