Re: On Greek anthro:pos 'man'

Could be Greek anthro:pos related to Hit. antuuahhas- / antuhs- 'man' < nom. *h1n-dHueh2-o:s, gen.sg. *h1n-dHuh2-s-os ? It would imply an Anatolic IE substratum in Greece. Maybe Endymion also fits into this root.

He noted there are no known examples of one and the same IE-inherited root, common to both the Greek and Anatolian branches, to which is added the -nth- suffix in Greek and the -nt-/-nd- one in Anatolian.
