References
  • Beekes, Robert: 1031
    S.v. νῶτον 'back'. No obvious etymology, perhaps may be compared to Lat. natis 'rump, buttocks' (cf. [de Vaan 2008](src-54) s.v.) but the connection is tenuous.
  • Chantraine, Pierre: 762
    S.v. νῶτον 'dos'. No obvious etymology, cf. entry for various older proposals.
