According to R.S.P. BEEKES "PRE-GREEK. A LANGUAGE RECONSTRUCTED", there seems to be a relationship between many Greek words meaning "darkness":
psephas
knephas
dnophos
zophos

Beekes tried to relate knephas/dnophos < *kdnophos, but he couldnt connect all four names.

psephas, cf. Sansk ksap- < *kWseph-

pkdnYophos? cf. posis/potis/potnia/poina
