Artwork the elephant

The Elephant

The word "elephant" is based on the Latin elephas (genitive elephantis) ("elephant"), which is the Latinised form of the Greek ἐλέφας (elephas) (genitive ἐλέφαντος (elephantos)),probably from a non-Indo-European language, likely Phoenician. It is attested in Mycenaean Greek as e-re-pa and e-re-pa-to in Linear B syllabic script.As in Mycenaean Greek, Homer used the Greek word to mean ivory, but after the time of Herodotus, it also referred to the animal.The word "elephant" appears in Middle English as olyfaunt (c.1300) and was borrowed from Old French oliphant (12th century).The Tamil word is aliyan for elephant.In Swahili elephants are known as Ndovu or Tembo. In Sanskrit the elephant is called hastin,while in Hindi it is known as hāthī .Babylonians called the animal pīru, from which the Middle Persian word for "elephant" pil derives.It was Arabicized as al-fil, and was then borrowed from Arabic into Old Norse as fil (fíl in Icelandic).Loxodonta, the generic name for the African elephants, is Greek for "oblique-sided tooth".
