katavothronn.

/katəˈvɒθrən/

Forms: Also catabothron, kaˈtabothron. Plural katavothra ( katavothrons). Forms with initial k and medial v are most usual (with varying endings: see note below).

Etymology: < modern Greek καταβόθρα swallow-hole, < κατά down + βόθρος hole. Katavothra (or -bothra) is the correct singular form, with plurals -ai (-æ) and -es (corresponding respectively to the modern Greek plural forms καταβόθραι and καταβόθρες). Katavothre is an erroneous singular formation < katavothres; the singular ending -on (plural -a, -ons) corresponds to nothing in modern or ancient Greek and probably arose as a result of mistaking καταβόθρα for a neuter plural.

A subterranean channel or deep chasm formed by the action of water.
