Etymologies

Category	Explanation
Unclear Metalinguistic	Hygassos, a city of Caria, [is formed/named] like Bubassos and Kryassos. The phrase indicates a comparison of the name’s formation with these similarly formed place names, but gives no explicit derivation.
Morphological Composition	The ethnic name is Hygassios, like Bubassios. This explains the formation of the demonym by analogy with another demonym, rather than the origin of the place name itself.
Morphological Composition	The plain is also called Hygasseion, with a diphthong; from it [comes] Hygasseus. This describes an alternate form and derives the ethnic/place designation Hygasseus from the plain called Hygasseion.
