Dobro, koliko mene snalaženje služi, starogrčki bi bilo hȃim(os), a novogrčki em(os). To sam već ovde napisao:
Nego, pogledaj:
In earlier times the mountains were known as the
Haemus Mons. Scholars consider that
Haemus (Greek
Haimos) is derived from an unattested
Thracian word[SUP][
dubious – discuss][/SUP][SUP][
citation needed][/SUP] *saimon, meaning 'mountain range'. Other names used to refer to the mountains in different time periods include
Aemon, Haemimons,
Hem, Emus, the Slavonic
Matorni gori, the Turkish
Kodzhabalkan and
Balkan.[SUP]
[1][/SUP] "
Balkan" comes from a
Turkish word meaning "a chain of wooded mountains".[SUP]
[2][/SUP] In places like
Turkmenistan and the eastern shores of the
Caspian Sea one still encounters this name, such as the Balkan Peninsula and the
Balkan Province in Turkmenistan.
Ne može se isključiti mogućnost da je kako
haim tako i
hem izvedeno od slovenskog
hlm, pogotovo što
hlm, za razliku od legendarnog naziva
Haim, po imenu mitološkog tračkog kralja, ima opipljivo značenje -
brda. Opipljivost se potvrđuje utoliko što Balkan, bilo u užem smislu, bilo u širem - čine brda. Balkan jesu brda.
S druge strane, ako gledamo na grčku legendu sa junacima tračkih imena (sic!) ...
In Greek mythology, King
Haemus (or
Haimos) of Thrace was the son of
Boreas. He was vain and haughty and compared himself and his wife, Queen
Rhodope, to Zeus and Hera. They changed him and his wife into mountains (Haemus Mons and Rhodope Mountains, respectively). In Greek, the Balkan Peninsula was thus known as the Peninsula of Haemus (Χερσόνησος του Αίμου). This naming of the Balkans has some basis amongst today Greeks as well.

The name of the Rhodope mountains has a Thracian provenance. Rhod-ope (Род-oпа) is interpreted as the first name of a river, meaning "rusty/redish river", where Rhod- has the same Indo-European root as the Bulgarian "руда" (ore, "ruda"), "ръжда" (rust, "razda"), "риж" (
latinrufous) and
germ. rot ("червен", "ред"). Through texts of Publius Ovidius Naso and Plutarch, the myth about the origin of the Rhodope mountains and the Balkan mountain range has reached us: "
Rhodopa and Hemus were brother and sister. They had started having a desire for each other, where Hemus was referring to her as Hera and Rhodopa to him as her beloved Zeus. The gods felt offended and decided to transform them into homonymous mountains."

...kao na slovensku legendu i jedan od modela u sistemu slovenske autohtonosti, imali bismo
starog oca Bora ("Boreas") čiji je sin kralj Hum ("Haimos") bio oženjen svojom sestrom (recimo) Rodovom (Rhodope).
Inače trački, ilirski, dački i sl. "jezici" jesu fantomski mrtvi jezici bez ikakvih gramatičkih sistema u čije se vokabulare utrpavaju uglavnom slovenske reči kojima se ne odgonetne etiomologija:
Little is known for certain about the Thracian language, since no phrase beyond a few words in length has been satisfactorily deciphered, and the sounder decipherments given for the shorter phrases may not be completely accurate. Some of the longer inscriptions may indeed be Thracian in origin but they may not reflect actual Thracian language sentences, but rather jumbles of names or magical formulas.

Je li sada jasnije pitanje?
