The similarity of two terms of Carian funerary terminology, ś(j)as ‘funerary monument’ (attested in Carian inscriptions) and σοῦα(ν) ‘tomb’ (preserved by Stephan of Byzantium) was recognized long ago, but their connection, if it exists at all, is unclear. This paper argues that both forms go back to the same underlying word by regular phonological and morphological processes.
