Another explanation (probably better) is based on *swe-

meaning ourselves.

Hi to the group
I have been few mounts ago,when I have snt my first post to cybalist,and still has not arrieved jet.
How ever ,I hope you dont mine my new one,hoping that this time everything will be ok
My second post is addressed to anyone who could help me out with the following text

[quote]The name Hellene
According to Thucydides, Hellenes were the people of Hellas. Greek mythology states that they were named after Hellen. A more scientific approach considers this an aitiological myth, placing the origin of the name in Epirus, the land of the Dorians, where people were called Selloi or Helloi. The etymology of the term is *sedlenes, meaning "settlers" (from the PIE root *sed, "to sit"). [/quote]
What do you think over such explanations
and do you maybe know who is the author o f this text
