- IE-CoR reference form:
- iškiš-
- IE-CoR reference language:
- Hittite
- Ideophonic:
- no
- Parallel derivation:
- no
- Justification:
- Possibly to be connected with Ancient Greek ἰσχίον 'hip-joint' (HED A+E/I:424-425), but this is disputed (cf. Beekes 2010:602-603). In view of the phonological similarity and the areal proximity of the languages it could be possible that both Greek ἰσχίον and Hitt. iškiš- are both independent borrowings from a third source (cf. Kloekhorst 2008:402).

S.v. iškiš- 'back, backside, rear', the only proposed cognate is Greek ἰσχίον 'hip(s)', but the semantic connection is not very convincing.
- Puhvel, Jaan: 424-425
S.v. Hitt. iskis- 'back, backside, rear'. Possibly to be connected with Greek ἰσχίον 'hip-joint, hip(s)', but further connections are uncertain.

Possibly to be connected with Ancient Greek ἰσχίον 'hip-joint' ([HED A+E/I](src-406):424-425), but this is disputed (cf. [Beekes 2010](src-66):602-603). In view of the areal proximity it remains possible that both Greek ἰσχίον and Hitt. iškiš- are both independent borrowings from a third source (cf. [Kloekhorst 2008](src-80):402).
