Re: Grassmann's law : why PHAETHON?

Answering mostly with questions...

Liddell-Scott says it's from pha:-. There must be more verbs with the extension -eth. It would help to see if Grassmann's law operates on them.

I would guess the word is newer than the operation of the law.

Why
Grassmann's law didn't take place in Greek word Phaethon? Why not Paethon?
Influence of root Pha- ?
