Phoenician Etymology[edit]

I'm wondering if this has a Phoenician etymology. The Phoenician word qart "city" would be expected to be rendered καρθ in Greek (emphatic stops are rendered as tenuis, and voiceless stops are rendered as aspirated) Tristanjlroberts (talk) 18:25, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deme[edit]

Was Karthaia really a deme rather than a polis? If not, is it possible the reference to the 'deme of Carthaea' is a mis-translation of the Greek demos, which could mean a deme but could also just refer to the people (here, of Karthaia)? Cleisthenes2 (talk) 23:42, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
