See Orel 1997, 139f Gr. βεύδος ‘sumptuous woman’s dress’ (Sappho, Call.,etc.) might be the same word. Greek may have borrowed this word from Phrygian in the meaning ‘statue of a goddess’, but since these statues presumably were lavishly adorned and dressed, beËdowwas used in the narrower meaning of a specific woman’s dress. |
