There is now a game called abderus at www.abderus.com and i was wondering if another page should be created to hold a description for this. It seems a good game --

Etymology
Removed the
English translation: "son of battle". Apart from unsourced, it's completely unjustified. The consonantal complex /bd/ is typically Pre-Greek (see [
[1]]), and since the lexicon of the Pre-Greek has not been reconstructed yet noone can know for sure what Pre-Greek names actually meant. As for Abderus, the best guess is that his name is associated to
Abdera; and that's all that can be said. If an etymology is to appear in the article again, it must be based on a very authoritative resource.
