Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'δοντία' meaning 'teeth' is derived from the Ancient Greek word 'ὀδόντες' (odontes), which is the plural form of 'ὀδούς' (odous), meaning 'tooth'. This in turn comes from the Proto-Hellenic '*odōn', which is related to the Proto-Indo-European root '*h₃dónts', meaning 'tooth'.
