Res: Res: [tied] Hekto:r etymology

What would be Homeric criteria to define Trojan gods? Ares, Apollon, Artemis, Leto, Aphrodite?
Trojan Apollon is almost identical to Indian Rudra (Mitanni conexion?)
Aphrodite as a Mistress of the Beasts (Kybele?)
Ares as the Thracian War-God.
Leto and Artemis seem to be just familiar attachments of Apollon.
Forgetting someone?

The main questions is:
Were Homeric anthroponyms. ..
1. Real Trojan names or ficcional names, or Greek translations of Trojan names, or Greek adaptations of Trojan names.

There was attempts to relate Hektor to *ek^wos "horse".

Perhaps Hektor < *HekV-torV, where V is any final vocalic ending, or dropped vowels.
*HekV-torV < *h1ek^wo-; *torV< ?
Just a guess: *h1ek^wo-dHorso- /-dHerso- "strong/dare as a horse"
*h1ek^Wo-dHorso- > *Hek&-tors&> *Hekto:r
His mother's name Hekabe/Hekouba could bear the same preffix.

Following an analogous shift (dH>t; bH>p; gh>k) Priamos could be related to Pergamos, < *bHerg(^)mo - higher

This is certainly true. My first thoughts about the possibility that
Hektor was a Greek (or at least IE) name were perhaps this is a case of
a title or nickname give by Greek-speakers to a non-IE-speaking
person/character -- or simply a case of a non-IE personal name being
replaced by a similar-sounding Greek personal name (or
plausible-sounding personal name construction) .

Cheers,
