Abstract: Homeric ἦτορ ‘heart’ and Greek ἦτρον ‘belly’ are derived from Proto-Indo-European *h1eh1-tr- ‘eater; stomach, belly’ assuming that *h1eh1-trstems from *h1eh1-, an allomorph of Proto-Indo-European *h1ed- ‘to eat’, and that the meaning ‘heart’ is secondary to the meaning ‘stomach, belly’ and due to a shift in the original semantics of the word.
