I was looking at info about the etymology of Poseidon at our article here:Poseidon, and there is info about don maybe meaning "god" (masculine counterpart of Dea), though I found some info that could suggest "earth" in that article. See this: In Linear B clay tablets, the form "PO-SE-DA-WO-NE ("Poseidon") occurs with greater frequency than does DI-U-JA (Zeus). A feminine variant, PO-SE-DE-IA, is also found, indicating a lost consort goddess". Further the text says: "Poseidon is already identified as "Earth-Shaker"— E-NE-SI-DA-O-NE— in Mycenaean Knossos,[3]". I notice that ENESIDAONE looks a lot like Enosichthon, "Earth-Shaker", but if DAONE meant "god" then I guess ENESIDAONE meant "the god who shakes things up" ) ?   10:43, 25
