Summary
Ganymede (Γανυμήδης), the most beautiful of mortals, snatched by the gods to be Zeus's cupbearer (Il. 20.232-235), is read in node ح-٣ on ġ-n-m — grade ج — as الغنيمة: the Prize, the seized spoil. His father was compensated with immortal horses — the ghanīma's price. (المصدر: raw/greek/طروادة_عقد_جذور.md)
Symbolic Reading
The abduction myth becomes the root's own story: the most beautiful movable thing, taken; the compensation paid. The g-n-m skeleton is complete in the Greek (ġ→g regular), with -ηδης as a Greek suffix. The rival Greek etymology (ganymai "to delight" + mēdea) is noted as live.

Cross-Cultural Parallels

- The Trojan royal line's repeated losses to the gods (Ganymede, Tithonus) as tribute-pattern
- Trojan Onomastics and the Levantine Substrate
Open Questions
- The Greek etymology is well-formed here — this is one of the nodes where the dossier's honesty about rivals matters most. (المصدر: raw/greek/طروادة_عقد_جذور.md)
