The word come from Democritus' saying: ετεη δε ατομα και κανον. English translation is: In reality atoms and void.
I want to know the root form of ἑτεῆ . Any suggestion will be appreciated. My confussion comes from the observation that Democritus uses two words to refer to truth or reality, one is ἑτεῆ , another is ἀλέθεια. It seems to me that the difference between these two terms are essential for us to understand his doctrine of truth.
