*(hbhth/rion: to\ paideuth/rion.

The headword h(bhth/rion (again eta 22) is a neuter noun formed from the root of h(/bh (eta 16), which means "youth". The suffix -th/rion is formed on analogy with paideuth/rion, "school", and (e.g.) bouleuth/rion, "council-chamber".
See e.g. Plutarch, Pompey 40.5 and 53.1; Cassius Dio 61.17.2.
