Pre-Greek-akti-versus-Turkic-kidi-meaning shore

*

There is a (Pre-)Greek word: ἀκτή and it means "shore, esp. rocky and jutting parts".

*

It could be a Pre-Greek word because there is no clear etymology for that:

*

My part:

There is a very old Türkic word "kıdığ" meaning edge, border, seashore, frontier; margin, edging, derived from the verb kıd-, meaning to cut.

See Starostin/Dybo:

*

In shape and meaning these 2 words

one in (Pre-)Greek and

one in Türkish 

are compatible with each other.

*

If we have an etymology for the Türkic word and no etymology for that Greek one, we could say:

ἀκτή could have derived from the Türkic kıdı.

("a" at the beginning of the word could be an Indo-European "a").
