Etymologies

Category	Explanation
Unclear Metalinguistic	“Pheneos”: a city of Arcadia. It is attested in the form Pheneon in the verse “who inhabited Pheneon and Orchomenos”; the name is also said in the masculine (and feminine) gender. This discusses the name’s grammatical forms, not its origin.
Unclear Metalinguistic	The inhabitant is called Pheneeus, Pheneates, or Pheneaios; in the feminine, Pheneaia and Pheneaion. The possessive forms are Pheneatikos/Pheneatike and Phenikos/Phenike. This lists derived forms of the name rather than explaining its origin.
