The Latin word is 'cogno:men'!

I presume you mean 'work', not 'word'. You should find it spelt
LUKOURGOS. I don't believe <Z> was ever a final letter in Greek
(except when a final vowel was elided before another one).

The borrowing from Greek to Latin goes:

au > au
eu > eu
ou > u
u > y

The Classical Greek pronunciation of <u> on its own (roughly as in
Modern French) was sufficiently different to the Latin <u> that the
Classical Romans reborrowed <u> from Greek as <y>, distinct from the
<u> they acquired when they borrowed the whole alphabet from the
Greeks via the Etruscans.

I don't see how 'Thra:ike:' is an anagram of "TURK ÖYÜ". Is the
process free to change the vowels?

I think you're saying:

1) Arabic for 'turks' is ETRAK.
2) The Greeks anagrammatised the Arabic name to get THRAKE.

Don't you read the other messages posted on this list?

But, of course, the final letter in Greek is 's', not 'z'!

Which I suppose is support, of a sort, for Jens's claim that the
Indo-European nominative singular used to end in -z (more than 5000
years ago)!
