This video is terrible. You totally missed the point. Tell me point blank the Indo-European word in Greek for blue. It doesn't exist. That's the point. Cyan comes from Hittite and was not proto-Indo-European. You proved the point that Greek itself had no word for blue.

@WorldofAntiquity What is the word, then? What is the word in Greek that means just blue and not any other color? It doesn't exist. Cyan is not even Greek, it's Hittite and non-Indo-European, and it meant several other colors. So please, what is the Ancient Greek word for just "blue"? I doubt it exists.

@WorldofAntiquity Hittite is Indo-European as a language, despite only 15-20% of its vocabulary being Proto-Indo-European, and "cyan" comes from one of the 80% words that are NOT Indo-European. and we don't know what it means. Therefore no word for "blue" was found in your video.
