Greetings all,

While trying to present a cogent argument to my fellow heathens, I noted that when I was asking about the etymology of Hermes (2 yrs ago), DGK replied:

I am simply trying to determine where this reference by Beekes can be located. Any help would be... well... very helpful!

Sincerely,
